I saw the flag
From day one
Flowing red
And strong
You didn\'t listen
When I told you
I\'m not happy here
Because \"you\'ll pull through\"
So I stayed
But hid in my room
Not just from her
But the rest of the world
I tried to do right
But messed up
once or twice
For her it was enough
Cutting me off
Kicking me out
For the same thing
she does every day
You took her side
Got mad at me
Said I was the problem
And it was all my fault
You took her side
Over mine
Even after
I called her out
I had proof
She was being unfair
And all I wanted
Was an \"I\'m sorry\"
Because I knew
That this would mean
I could lose
My relationship with you
You are so stubborn
Say I need to be
on my own
Because I\'m an adult
You don\'t let me
Make my own choices
Even now
You\'ve made many decisions
That will take me
Down a path
Not meant for me
You are so oblivious
And it makes me sad
That you don\'t look
When I give hints
A webpage left open
A poem written
Or song on repeat
I am not happy
I have not been happy
In a very long time
But i smile
And I laugh
Because you tell me too
My white flag
Waving in the shadows
Ignored
And alone
Why can\'t you see
That I am so broken
Lost and scared
Please
Open your eyes
See me
As I really am
Help me
