Family:
My family lacks compassion
So when I’m in pain, I just got to suck it up
Put my feelings in my pockets
Because they not coming with tissue to stop my tears from running
It’s stunning
No matter what happens,
I’m the problem that you should treat like a landmine
They believe depression is something you can tell off
They’ll never understand till someone put a knife to their own neck
And let their soul rest
Maybe then they’ll invest in someone else emotions
Instead of demoting their feelings to talk about their dealings
Or tell them they understand
While continuing to show you, they don’t
