When I helped you stand in an elevator at 8 years old because you were too drunk to stand yourself.
When you missed my last band concert because getting high and crying over him was more important.
When you told me I treat you like a dog, but I get anxiety whenever I'm around you.
When you told my brother he should have never been born. A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts, you know.
When you said I was too immature to decide if I should stay at your house or not.
When you stopped being my safe place.
When you tried to make me feel guilty for not coming out to you sooner. It made you mad that even though you have been calling it a phase for a year that I didn't think you'd exept me.
How about the time I tried to put my younger brother to sleep and you yelled at me for asking you not to distract him while cleaning; he would never get to sleep that way. But I was "scoulding you".
Don't forget when I was 4 years old and you came to visit me and promised me a new booksgelf for all my moovies, and didn't even remember the next time I saw you (a month later).
And I've been told plenty of time of when you left me with my grandma to go get some food, and came back about 4 days later for your child.
I was sick once and I remember throwing up, wishing my mom was there to hold my hair, but I figured I hadn't seen her in so long that maybe if I prayed she would hear me up in hevan?
When you dropped me off without saying I love you, even though I said it three times and I was mad.
Now pick those out in perfect chronological order. Tell me what was the old you. Tell me you changed. Lie to me. Im already used to it.
Now you might understand why I'm counting down the days until I live with my father.
