• How do I fight back?
    Fight back against my family
    The loving empathy that they lack
    Every word feels like an attack
    And they don't even know how to handle me?

    I was once, and remain, a gem in their eyes
    A gem whose brilliance can't be compared
    But underneath the beauty, there were lies
    And underneath the quality, there was despise
    And I know that they never cared

    So why do I?
