You Are a Terrible Liar

You confuse me,

You make my head spin in circles
Why won’t you tell me the truth?
Say it out loud
You do not love me,
You never did.
But I always knew that, didn’t I?
You are a terrible liar.

I’ve grown addicted to this pain,
Whether it is mental or physical.
I ache to hit something,
To cause destruction.
To have blood dripping from my hands,
Adrenaline pumping throughout every single vein.
You are a terrible liar.

But I’m submerged within their shadows,
Nothing but darkness to kiss my cheeks.
I am a freak in their eyes,
Although your parents shouldn’t judge you,
I’m a dog in a pack of wolves,
But what else can I do?
You are a terrible liar.

There is no escape for me,
Because I am just the middle child.
I do everything you ask of me,
Yet I still get fewer acknowledgements.
Even if I were perfect,
Something I could never be.
I wouldn’t be one of your utmost desires,
Because favoritism is your greatest fault.
You love those that need you,
And I guess I don’t fall under that category.

Even if I left letters of weakness,
Outside your door,
You wouldn’t care anymore.
Am I not what you want?
You know what, don’t answer that.
You are still a terrible liar.

You strangle me with your words of rejection,
You kick me with your own ignorance,
I watch silently as you try to get to me.
All of your attempts, failing
I’ve grown used to this feeling of betrayal.
There’s nothing left you can do.
I want you to feel how I feel.
But you still don’t have a clue.
You are a terrible liar.

There is no better soothing,
Than to feel the pain of my abyss.
Because when my eyes are closed,
And my dreams will transpire,
I am no longer trapped underneath your fingers.
I am entire.
You are a terrible liar.

I love my parents, and  I love my family. I only wanted to write an article in the view point of another, that may not have it as well as I do.
