She means well I know
But I don't need her to grow
She belittles me like I'm small
She holds me as if without her I'd fall
She tries to fix me as if I were broken
She tries to replace me as if I were stolen
I know she wishes the best for me
Yet I'm not living helplessly
She wants to protect me as if I couldn't fight
She doesn't mean to be condescending
But don't doubt my might
I wish I could come off a little more mild
But I am not a fucking child
You mean the best and I respect it
but friendships should be supportive not dependent
It's so annoying when you treat me like a toddler
Believe me, it's on my own I've gotten stronger
I'm a locked case and I don't give you my key
You can be supportive but only healthily
You don't get to treat me like I'm helpless
Don't treat a badass like she's defenseless.
