Parents don't realize what they do to us,
Force us into a mold,
Destroy our creativity.
When they take away our devices,
They take away the people we can talk to.
The safe spaces we have.
They say they're helping,
But how will yelling change anything?
You want me to stop hiding in my room?
Stop yelling at me for everything I do!
Stop blaming me for your mistakes.
Stop getting mad at me because I'm alive.
They split our lives in half
Without thinking about how divorce Affects anyone but them
They criticize people
Without realized their child is one of them
I'm sorry for loving who I want to love
I'm sorry for wanting a normal family
Where everyone is happy
Where things are okay
Where we aren't broken
I know I'm a mistake.
I don't need to be reminded.
Sorry for being so imperfect
Sorry for being a disgrace.
Sorry for existing.
I should just leave,
Right?

(I think you've shared a portion of this write before, but I'm not sure)..
The frustrations you word, stem
from a simple core, of a common Societal disease:
its that same Ignorance, that allows for MTV's 'Teen Parents'
to go from being vilified, to Glorified
in a single generation,
and acting like, there will be no consequences, as a result..
ergo: the future before us
where 'Parentless' children, give birth
to parentless children,
and so this cyclical reality
of hellish beginnings to a generation of innocent children, is perpetuated: endlessly, knowingly!
a shameful loop of abject Hypocrisy!
Tell me,
if Our parent's
never witnessed 'Good Parenting'
how do we expect them, to be 'good' at parenting?
anyone, can have a child
even if its by adoption...
but not Everyone: Knows
how to be a Father and a Mother.
So many start families
without preparation, knowingly
cursing their children to a life of futile Desperation..
and Yes, we All mean well
and Our love was sincere (in the moment), but really
can anyone act ignorant of the consequences to bringing children in the world
when the parent's 'Themselves'
are still Recovering, from their Own childhood Traumas...?
(anyway, forgive my rant
this is the second 'triggering' child themed write, I have read this morning and I couldn't control my reaction,
I'm very sorry for my Opinionated and lengthy comment!)
thanks for sharing
keep writing and expressing and shedding,
don't keep your frustrations hidden or repressed,
they'll only fester and hurt you even more, in the future
I don't think parenting is as easy as it may seem. I think there's a fine line between good parenting and bad parenting. I personally hate my home life and everyone in my home but I've been living like this since I was 6 so I guess I'm okay but maybe that's just an act. People don't change and that includes our parents...
