Scared

You scare me

And stop using excuses

"He just needs to understand"

Is not an excuse for fighting with dad 

Every. Single. Night.

My sister and I now have trauma.

I have had to be stronger that I am able 

Just so she is safe

And knows that someone 

Is there to actually keep her safe.

Do you want to know something,

Dear mother?

I made a pact with her.

We signed it in ink.

Pinky promised and cut our thumbs

So that it was a blood oath.

When I turned 18

I would go to community college

Save enough money

And get a law degree

We would work countless shifts

Both night and day

So that I could move out and take her.

Some apartment, maybe even move out of state.

Somewhere nice,

Like Canada.

She'd become a movie star.

Me, a lawyer.

And we'd never look back

Not even once.

Don't you feel bad for inspiring that?

No?

Typical.
