maybe I’m a selfish person,

a needy person,

but I need you to understand

This is my fight,

and I don’t need

You to take your confusion

and join the opposition

i need you to be the home front

to stand guard, and make sure I don’t lose

‘how could you’ doesn’t help

it just creates another scar, a lie,

more to add to your confusion

more ‘how could you’

you’re supposed to pull me out

not dig me deeper

mom, Dad, are you listening

i’m going to scream now:

Help.
