Smile for the camera. Pose like your enjoying the moment. Show teeth but don't show to much. Talk but don't talk to much. Saying anything just not what's on Your mind. Be anything you want to be Just don't be you. Have some of light but you Can't have it all. You can be seen just don't be heard. Look down and not up that's not for You. I am doing this to protect you. It's for your own good. Ties cut bridges burnt. Leaving without looking back Now I can be whatever I choose to be.
I wrote this after cutting all ties with a seriously toxic family member I have been struggling to get out of the dark so I am writing my way out of it.
