I Feel Like a Burden
I feel like a burden.
Parents kicked me out saying
“He’s gotta deal with her now”
And they weren’t playing
“If you leave this house,
You can’t come back”
Don’t worry mom and dad
I had enough time to pack.
Just cause I wanted to stay the night
You ended up yelling
I left after that fight.
Things had to change
Couldn’t get to HTC
Losing friends left and right
People started judging me
Just trying to live
But it doesn’t go so well
Sometimes I feel alone
Feel like I’m living in hell.
Cause no one understands
That age means nothing to me
If I love someone
Can’t you just be happy?
Missing my family
But it doesn’t matter
Going crazy cause I’m lonely
Like wonderlands crazy mad hatter
Calling my boyfriend
Hard when he’s away
Ending the call early
Cause we don’t know what to say
Wishing I was normal
Hate what people think
Can’t talk to no one
Cause I’m on the brink
Of not being able to cope
I know I’m negative sometimes
But all I want is to hope
I want to be able to
Smile again
But idk how
Where or when.
When he’s there
My life seems so much sweeter
Met him at work he’s on the clean team
(But that doesn’t mean he’s neater)
Gotta buy the groceries
Hoping to do more
Part time at the bakery
At the cub foods store
Life is complicated
Like staying balanced on a saddle
New conflicts every day
But I’m still fighting my last battle.
Once I finally feel
That I am close to winning
I look at the mess behind me
Saying “that was just the beginning”
