Poem
When you live in a house with a man who your mother loves be grateful When you live in a house with a man who has been providing for you and our mother since you were six thank him for everything he has given you When you live in a house with a man who you have had shaky feelings about since you were six make sure that if you ever cry do it in private because it kills you to see your mother not get along with him When you live in a house with a man who with just one look can make you feel like scum try to do better and be upset when you are alone When you live ina house with a man who makes you want to feel alone find a place to go where you can be alone When you live in a house with a man who makes you bite your lip so hard you bleed because you don't want to cry in front of him don't complain about the blood to anyone keep it a secret keep everything g a secret When you live ina house with your man who makes you want to bottle every last emotion inside of you and your mother asks if you feel like you are getting along with him any better and there are so many things you want to tell her about how he makes you feel don't say you are doing fine When you live in a house with a man who makes you feel like his burden apologize when you live in a house with a man who makes you feel like a problem apologize When you live in a house with a man who makes you feel like nothing more than a burden a problem and a waste of space refrain from telling him that you did not ask to be his burden and that you do not want to be his burden refrain from telling him you don't want to be considered a failure do not tell him you are trying your best because obviously your best is not good enough for him do not tell him anything about how he really makes you feel because he does not care anyways do not tell him anything because if you live in a house with a man who makes you feel like nothing more than a burden problem and waste of space he does not deserve to hear anything you have to say he had his chance to care he gave it up so do not even let him know that in return you have given up on him
