leave that house

i can't wait until i leave that house.


where i always have to agree with peace

because i can't forget that they are the cat and i am the mouse.

where caring for me is them keeping me on a leash

yet having no intention of going anywhere.


where "i'm only doing what's best for you"

is "you won't have anything i didn't have."


where the main argument is "i gave you food

and a roof on top your head,"

as if that wasn't the bare minimum a parent is supposed to do.


where "i love you,"

is a burden to continue to say

and where at the end of the day

we are all crying in our beds, waiting for the pain to subdue.
