Conversational hypocrisy
Don't talk about that time, it lies to me.
Memories are betraying my verbal recogniscence.
"Tie my tongue, I do not wish to incriminate you."
Panick stricken eyes, I'm caught between
Paternal pattering feet upon my attic boards
And maternal instincts keeping me in harms way.
" Why won't you comfort me?
Am I not good enough to be your seed?"
I'm plying my trade, I'm kiddie poetry in a prom dress
I'm Shakespeare on a bender
I'm
Just a girl caught inside a flattering chest and
Eyes to pierce your skin. My family structure crumbled
Quicker than I could learn to adjust to the shambles.
I want christmas cookies and carols, but I have thoughts of
Child support checks and a great big 'fuck you too.'
You didn't raise me, but you don't want the credit anyways.
Role credits
I'll have nothing to do with this
Family feud infront of a
Live reality audience and
The ears of children will
Forever ring with your
Disapproval and No
I'm not a screw up
And this isn't the Brady Bunch.

"You didn't raise me, but you don't want the credit anyways."
This is very intense, and, in a way, almost relatable. It's very personal, and it cuts very deep. Great writing.
