I Don’t Have The Fight For You
you have broken me so many times
and you still expect me
to pick myself up
and glue the pieces together
i am a child.
i am your child.
YOU CHOSE TO HAVE ME
WHY DO YOU STILL TREAT ME
LIKE A FUCKING MIRROR
I am not replaceable.
and you still expect me

YOU CHOSE TO HAVE ME
WHY DO YOU STILL TREAT ME
LIKE A FUCKING MIRROR
I am not replaceable.

This hurts my heart. It compels me to write something. What I am going gong to say is in no way meant to excuse anyone or anything that is done. Thats not my place. What I say is for you.
Parents are people. People are fucked up. All of us in some way or another. Everone deals with that in different ways. Some people fight against it. They work tirelessly to rise above and be better. Others are not so strong and it reflects in the way they treat themselves and/or others around them.
A parent should love, care for and protect their children. I think that is something few people could make a valid argument against. Unfortunately, not all do. That you have no control over. I think that understanding that parents are human beings just like you can be helpful. Accepting that they have the same feelings and emotions. They can be broken as well. Again, I don't say this to give a reason as to why they should be excused or forgiven for falling short. What Im saying isn't about them. It's about you. Its about you not being trapped in the why. Because once you move past the why, you can get to the how.
How will you deal with the facts laid out before you? How wIll you deal with the situation that you find yourself in? Will you allow it to beat you down? WIll you allow it to stunt your growth? Will you allow it to change who you are and define who you become as opposed to who you want to be?
You are not responsible for other people's actions. You are also not responsible for finding a reason for those actions. You are responsible for how you react to those actions. You are responsible for how those actions affect your actions. I believe that it is in our hardest times, in the times of most adversity, that who we are is defined. Do these times define us by breaking us, hardening our heart, making us apathetic, cynical or nihilistic or do they provide us with strength, drive and determination to live better than how we got our start? That is your question to ask and answer for yourself.
Just remember that everything changes. It's the nature of life. It is an inevitability. There is no forever. Sometimes, that is something to dread and other times it is something to be anticipated.

I’m not sure what else to reply to this but thank you. Your words are beyond wise.🫶

DI has some very wise words.
All I will add is that we must live our lives for ourselves and not torture ourselves over what could have been or should have been. It’s up
To us to make a new life for ourselves if necessary. Life is meant to be overcome. You’ve already done that.
LIVE girl, live💕
