Power

It's funny how it's all our fault. How you can rip everyone to shreds yet we haven't done that to you.  Talking about values and traditions, what tradition? The tradition of you cursing us tearing us up? Or the one where you act like you're the boss of us and we can't move without your word? I can't believe it's come to this. Come to the point of you doing anything and everything to hurt the ones you love. Blaming everyone but the main person for the fall out.  I was raised different but that's not my fault. I suffered the same way but different. I've wished for nothing more then to take your pain away and for God to bless you and make you happy but that's not the way life works, does it? You were there for me I can never take that away but you don't own me. You don't know me. You think you know me because of the blood line we share because of the secrets we've told each other but you don't know me. If your did you would know better.  Talking that shame on everyone mess but shame on you. Shame on you for expecting everyone to follow you like the weak ones that have nothing else in life. Never be a follower be a leader.  I've never turned my back even when you hurt me and didn't care for my feelings nope I stayed around hoping to one day impress you.  And one day I woke up and realized I didn't need your approval. I needed my own approval my own validation. I needed to become me not the idea of me.  Maybe that's what hurts the most the fact that you couldn't except that or the fact that you never believed in me to begin with.  Talking about the now but then talking about the then.  On your power trip flying high but feeling low.
