I do it all by myself anyways.

To ask for help is an unlikely possibility.

Yet I open up my heart

called out your name-

I become nothing but a burden under your hand when I speak my plea.

 

It seems in light of all you have put me through,

I am nothing but a waste of money, space.

I come out of my shell- to my mother, I cry out

and the first thing I hear is of my strain on your back.

Oh, how I break your heart.

 

I am out of words- I waste my pencils lead and my notebook paper

every time I write of someone who will never quite get it.

This is dedicated to my mother, who will never quite get it, and who only has shown her love to me when I met her expectations of what her child should be.
