The Dearly Hated

My words that went unheard, but remain spoken

"No, I am not making this bigger than it is. This is how big it is for me."

"It is not too much to ask my family for basic respect."

"I should not have to put my own happiness aside for the comfort of people around me."

"Just because you think I deserve to be treated this way does not mean I have to accept being treated this way. I don't, and I won't take it."

"I don't have to explain myself, if they don't get it then they don't get it. I will continue living and being happy."
