I was never my own person.
You have conveniently put me here.
That’s all my place is.
I am not some middle child ***** to be your ******* support system
I am not some middle child ***** to be your ******* provider

You need my help.
I hate having to give myself up.
That’s all I ever have been.
You are not an important piece of me or my life
You are not welcome to stay as long as you like

Stop being the making others martyrs
Stop claiming I don’t understand
Stop talking down to me
Stop pushing me to do things you can’t

I don’t hate the situation
I hate you for putting me here

My life will be my own
I am not a toy on loan

Don’t think I need your help.
