Existence
You were never supposed to exist
You breathe too loud
You have been the worst of nightmares
Maybe you shouldn't ever have existed
Why are you sick
Why couldn't you be normal
You were supposed to take care of me
That's the only reason I ever let you stay
You were destined to be the scapegoat
You were born to be the punch bag of this family
Why don't you respect your elders
Why don't you give in to your destiny
You weren't supposed to have ideas
Or thoughts or feeling or emotions
You were born
To take the weight of all our faults
To be made to believe your existence caused this
To never blink, to not flinch
To accept all blame, to never fight back
Why don't you just accept your role
This is what fate destined for you
Long before you were born
We decided not to have you
You should be grateful
You're alive and breathing
Clothed and fed
You are too loud
In your needs and demands
Born to be invisible
You were never supposed to exist
