sometimes,
I thought I needed emotional support from you.
but not when you can't help yourself,
or when you're most toxic.
not when you're on the floor struggling to keep up with  your own burdens, soon finding a way to
slowly pushing them onto me.

but its fine,
because slowly I learn that family is family.
even if you have to use me
to forget everything that hurts you.
even if in the end,
I find myself below the surface.
