When every word I say
is met with an eye roll …
When my questions
are answered with sighs …
When my mere existence
seems to be an annoyance …
I start wondering why
you are even here.
I start wondering why
I let you stay.
When everyone says you need to go
but I defend you and say I’m helping …
When friends see I’m miserable
but I make excuses for you …
When you violate my trust
and I forgive you because thats who I am …
I start to understand
you are here for you, not me.
You have nowhere else to go,
No one else to take care of you;
No one else to put up with your shit
and pay your way for everything.
You don’t need to grow up;
You don’t need to be a man,
When I give you everything
at my own expense.
I feel more alone with you here
than I would if I were actually alone.
Why do I let this continue?
Why do I let you stay?

Satyr6129 days agoSadly I felt this way about my own family growing up as I was verbally & physically abused. Now that I'm older & they're gone I don't miss them a bit. This poem made me cry. Well written.
