Toxic family ties

 

 

Thoughts of those who would deny acknowledgement of good

Taught to value yourself 

no they never would 

 

Say we just can't have her  

becoming full of herself 

We like to degrade her 

relegate esteem to the shelf 

 

We didn't know anything of 

psychological projection 

Still wouldn't have a clue 

perpetrated harm or when

 

Priority for us appearring

that we are so accomplished 

Serving almighty denial 

truth is then demolished 

 

Call her a liar again 

attempt intimidation tactics 

Instill fear in her eyes 

extort acquiescence for facts

 

Without reaction from her 

thier internal struggle ensues

Can't scare silence in her mind 

what next will they do

 

Find a drink or a drug 

escape from themselves

No problem for me now

embracing truth in myself 

 

Most truthful words

a younger self dared to speak 

Save yourself and cut ties 

And learn to live free
