The Curse of You

I think I’ll always beg for you to see me as valid. But as of recently, I feel like I’ll be beginning to lose my balance.

I’ve been walking a fine line in an attempt to not become erratic. But, I’m the flesh of your bones; So I may always be stuck with this familiar static.

I don’t blame you for passing this all onto me. My friends say I’m strong, so I know one day that I’ll believe. But, you could’ve held my hand through these things, as life showed me all of what my DNA would have came to be.

I know i’ll figure all this out eventually, the road is just long and you left me.

I was young,

and in my head - sometimes I still may be.

Stuck as that little girl who was forced with so much life to see.
