if you're such a victim act like it

the patriarchs in my house
just learn the s**t they used to s**t on me for knowing
and they talk to me like theyre teaching me

like when you stopped abusing mum
and you had your first sober morning in ten years at least
and you talked to me about how to be happy
when you stole my happiness like a giant reaching his hand in a childs window
nothing i could do,
nothing i could do to stop it,
then you asked me where my zest for life went
and the worst I can do is feel annoyed.

i know it's not your fault
i wish you'd f*****g act like it.
