TW: parent problems
You never listen
I tried to talk to you
I tried so hard
But you tuned me out
Told me I wasn't right in thinking that
Told me I was making it up
Told me I was lying
Told me it never happened
And it sounds so silly coming out of my mouth now
Such a silly thing to fight over
Such a silly thing to define our relationship
But that was the day I realized you wouldn't listen
That you wouldn't take me seriously
And yes,
Maybe you have grown since then
But it's hard to mute out the voices that have followed us since childhood
It is hard not to define relationship from the things we learned early
Hard not to think everyone else will be like that
For better, or for worse
Depends what type of relationship you taught us
