Dear G____,

You found me in a dark space

And kept me company

But I want to get lighter now

The weight in my chest is heavy

And you pretend it isn’t there

Because we both know

You caused it

You don’t like that I read and write

I defer from the normal

And you hate

That I’m okay with that

And you hate

How others who like me are ok with that.

I want to move up in my life

But you pull me back down to the dark

To stay with you

You could come with me, up higher,

But you deny the offers I give

Then get mad at me for doing it alone.

I care about people,

But you don’t seem to care for me

That’s ok.

I’m not for everyone

So leave

If I am so horrid and so unlike what a girl should be,

Leave.

But you don’t

You stay

And the darkness stays

And I want to go

I’ll leave you here in the dark

As I make myself better

And you can’t get mad

Since I told you to come along

And you denied

But you’ll still be mad

And I’ll still be hurt.
