Things My Parents Tell Me
Folder:
Rise Above "Don't feel that way"
Oh yes, suddenly I am cured!
Thank you so much for telling me not to feel that way.
"You just took it that way"
And there is the anger in your eyes.
Like I haven't apologized a hundred times for telling you what my mind translated it as.
"I just don't understand it"
I don't need you to understand it. I need you to hug me and tell me it will be alright. I need you to stop yelling at me and when I start to cry to stop telling me that you will GIVE me something to cry about.
Obviously you already have.
"I don't know what you want me to do."
I want you to help me. I want you to tell me what to do. I'm lost in my mind, in this world, your directions are too vague you are my parents, help me. I can't see through the darkness that is my thoughts I can't see.
"I can't help you if you can't help yourself."
I.... I.... Can't help myself. I can't help myself so no one can help me. I'm broken. There is no fixing me. I... Get it.
"You just took it that way."
Oh, okay. Yeah, I should stop overreacting. Right. Yeah. I'm sorry. Really.
"I don't know what you want me to do."
Nothing, I'm okay, you do so much. I get it. Really, thank you for everything.
"I just don't understand it."
Haha, I don't get it either it's okay.
"Don't feel that way."
Okay.
