The Voice That Calls Behind Me
Submission to Don’t Turn Around Challenge
Your voice is in my mind
I never asked to hear
You brought me into life
And then asked me to bear
🙉
Why aren’t you sweet like your brother?
Less complicated like your sister?
Passionate like your mother?
Creative like your father?
🙉
You are too big for your britches
Too smart for your own size
You make us feel like bitches
Stop seeing through our lies
🙉
It’s healthy to be this unhealthy
You are just too vain
You should always feel unworthy
Life is made for pain
🙉
Stop acting like you know better
Those brains won’t get you far
At least you are good looking
Just pretend to be into cars
🙉
You are just an alien
We found out on the curb
So we took pity on you
Because you are absurd
👽
I know I don’t fit this family
You made it very clear
Your voice still calls behind me
I wish it weren’t so near
😔
