I hate the way you drag me away
I hate the way you say no all the time
I hate the way you scream at me
I hate the way you say “I love you” as if it makes it alright
I hate the way you push and pull me
I hate the way things never change
I hate the way you want me to take pills
I hate the way you compare me to others
I hate the way you suffocate me
But you know what I love?
What I cling to?
That fact the no matter what you’ve done to me, physically, mentally, emotionally, no matter what you said in terms of threats, bribes, or put downs
You haven’t won.

I love that fact that I still won’t listen to you.
