"You makes all the bad choices."
"It's not a surprise that you don't have any friends."
"You're the reason this family is falling apart."
"Hopeless."
"Little selfish good for nothing *****."
"You're a mess."
"Why are you such an idiot?"
"Why would anyone ever trust you."
"A disappointment."

"I wish we could be proud of you for something."

The sweet melody
of my parents voices,
whispering loving words
in my ears
each night.
