i escaped 2,226 miles away
in hopes of finding
what i've been missing
in hopes of escaping
your
deadpan
tight-lipped
cold stare
in hopes of
peace
what i've been missing
all along
is me
overshadowed by the
hatred of myself
built by you
overshadowed by the
thoughts of suicide
why would i want
to be me when
my own family doesn't
seem to want me
and i know i'm not
the only one with a
story like that but
knowing so doesn't really make
this much easier to handle
i will admit that
i've had a lot of help
and i'm beyond lucky
to have the family i chose
they teach me things like
just because you used to be
doesn't mean you have to be
and
patience and kindness can
tear down the tallest walls
the ones i’ve spent my whole
life building just so i didn't
have to feel all of that **** again
but i’ve been
getting better at getting better
at 2,226 miles away
i think i’ll stay
