I've had it with you and your inconsideration
What good are you to me?
I live better depending on the people around me
I strive without you
It wasn't you who helped me learn the languages of this country
You haven't touched the groceries
You only started to do chores because I made you.
Ungrateful punk
Good thing my job isn't to take you to my homeland with me
Because you wouldn't last in the life I live
I shouldn't be bickering but I have that bitter taste in my mouth
A taste that reminds me of the struggles I went through as a teen.
The struggles I was put through because my mother chose you.
I know not to take it out on you.
Which is why I write these words
I wont speak them to you.
Instead, I'll leave them here, to rot.
