When you don't have the strength
You get called lazy, worthless
You force yourself out of bed;
To stand up, to do the shit that has to be done
You throw and smash things
You sit on the floor and cry
Feeling incapable of even feeding yourself;
Yet everyone expects the world from you.
You.
You are still a child,
Yet you don't get to be one;
You never did.
You.
You who needs a good job
You who needs to make a living
You who needs to have their life planned out
Me.
I still have eight years
I am still a teenager;
Yet I don't get to be one...
But I will.
You can suck my dick,
I am not old enough for your responsibilities.
You don't see,
How mentally broken it leaves me.
You don't pay attention to my emotions;
You never have.
You think you have all the answers,
You don't need answers.
I have empathy and understanding.
You don't have that.
