Burden
Note: So, this probably could’ve gone to a prompt abt poison, but oh well lol.
TW: Emotional manipulation/abuse
What, so now I’m a burden?
Lesson learned.
Don’t go to you if I’m seeking help w/ the hurt
You asked if I apologized
When will everyone stop telling lies?
I’m done w/ the hurt
Done w/ the grief
These tears are not for you
I want the truth!
It’s time you all stop looking inside
What’s in there? My soul. I don’t lie w/ my eyes.
So I want an end to this misery?
I want you to stop trying to control me?
There’s a fire in there
Learn to keep my mouth shut
Why?
Bc I learned to give a sh!t?
Bc I don’t keep quiet when I take a hit?!
If you don’t want it to get out
Maybe you should’ve given it a thought
When you placed the pain you put on me
You didn’t think it hurt? A burn; third degree??!
“_You didn’t say a word_”
Yeah; bc you taught me, & I learned the truth
You never gave a sh!t abt me
You only gave a rat’s @ss abt you.
