human beings are unreliable things

never place faith in anything or anyone

have faith in your ability to survive

life is an all consuming hole

and we are circling the drain, people

some of us learn to swim

some of us were never taught how

im so done with disappointment

everything my parents ever taught me was a lie

i wish i had a nice family

one that i could be honest with

and be who i am around them

but that is not reality in my world

and im out here all alone

where the arms of my parents reach

suddenly gave away

and they lost their grip

im left where they dropped me

they have dropped many here

yet they keep trying

blind to the fact that they are fuck ups

and i owe them pain and torture

for the ways that i am

i am a broken bone, never fixed, and healing wrong

force to function maligned

you should be allowed to chose

who you are born to

or if you are born at all

the grass would look greener

the skies, less empty

and this knot in my stomach

wouldn't have tied up such a place it calls home
