Mother why Father why Why do you turn your backs to me Why can't you look me in the eyes So much distance in this family Mother, Father Why have you abandoned me Was I not a good enough son Have I not tried hard enough To show you I want to make you proud This pressure is too much Causing so much distance All in an instance You refuse to acknowledge my pain You refuse to grasp the concept That I am killing myself That I am drowning in depression And Mother, Father I can't take it anymore I am sorry But this **** has to end So much distance All in an instance So quick to deny me The luxury of my youth Have I not exceeded the others I can't be the only one To prove to you You have not failed us I can't take the yelling I can't take the fighting I can't take the constant cutting I have scars from the years Of trying to survive But I am 17 now And I am making this decision To solve the problem With a permanent solution I have become so depressed I have become so horse From years of trying to make you hear me I just want to be acknowledged as your son Not your ******* slave Mother, Father just shut the **** up And listen to me for the first time Go ahead and say your favorite line "When are you going to listen to us?" Maybe when you listen to me for a change I am still ******* human No matter how much I wish I wasn't I feel dead inside because of you So much distance And it happened all in an instance I can't take the separation anymore Father, your always gone You barely saw me grow up Everything I learned as a man Was by my own doing Or by another man that took me under his wing Mother, you always ***** at me Even for the simplest things I have watched as you changed And you can't cope with the fact That I hate you for it That I have become a man That I have decided to leave So much distance No one hears my calls for help Even with a megaphone to my lips Even with it posted all over the internet I can't seem to find comfort I have nothing left All because you never gave me anything Worth actually caring for I didnt need the material things I needed your love and compassion Something neither could obviously give And it caused so much distance I have no relationship with either of you So I bid you both farewell I can't take this I need a home Not a place to sleep I need a sanctuary A place of peace and solace Something you obviously cannot give You both are unhappy Causing me to be even more miserable You cannot help me with my depression You can't offer me anything but materials And I don't want them I want a Mother and Father That can try to understand me But I won't receive that in this life So I am leaving Due to so much distance In this family I hope you get to read this Even if it is after I scatter my brains all over the wall Or get emancipated and move far away from you
