the thing about an addicted parent is there never really a parent figure

they'll call you ever once in a while to be nosy, and stay familiar

but they will always just be addicted

addicted to the person in their small minds they've depicted 

addicted to their alone time when you were not in their way

it's not like they'd care until you get somewhere someday

but do you know what I call an addicted parent

i call them a person who failed to stay long enough to raise them

a person who had their priorities scattered

and their precious dreams shattered

but what can I do at the end of the day

when I wasn't even a reason for them to stay
