Survive
All along you were a ghost
I could see you standing there
But you couldn't touch me
You chose not to
You were never there for me
You were abusive
You were a living, walking hell
A hell I lived with my whole life
Trying to fight your fire
Trying to ignore the sounds of your petrifying voice
Trying to get away
When I ran, you ran faster
When I tried to come up
You dragged me down
When I tried to grow
You let me starve
But I survived
I have finally ran faster
Swam harder
And grew on nothing
But I'm still alive
Relying on you is like waiting to see another galaxy from earth
Like waiting for the sun to shine at the bottom of Mariana's Trench
Like relying on a dead man to breath
I believed it was me that was in the wrong
I thought that maybe it's my fault
My fault that a galaxy never showed
My fault that the sun never reached the bottom
My fault that the man was dead
But now I see it's not..
Now that I'm free from your hate, jealousy and greed
I'm going to become that rare light in the sky
I'm going to become that rare light at the bottom
I'm going to be the person who survives

Just a little something to show how I feel about my mother.....who never really was a mother at all.
Just because someone is blood, doesn't mean you should stick around for them.

Well at least you knew your mother, mine died when I was 2 not a big deal now though I know where she is now and I'm happy she's there. 
great read and that's how I feel about some of my family.
They only call for us when they need money or need our assistance with another matter, not to ask us how we're doing or anything that an actual family would do and I honestly think this was because the passing of my mom :\ they said that she kept the family together or something like that Idk X3. Anyway X3 lol yet again great read 0u0
