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.
