Congratulations Your mom would've been so proud Instead of going the socially unacceptable route of drugs and eating disorders You went the slightly-more-acceptable route of disconnection, isolation, pain and emptiness Just like she did Except without the drugs. So as long as you're not burdening any of us And as long as we're happy with one word answers when we ask about your well being Go ahead and cry on your floor like you always do No one will bother you Because you have a degree and a job. Who cares about how you really feel? You've done so well going through so much. Congratulations.
