Let Me Be
I mean really, is it that hard to just send a message or something saying, 'hey can't talk, I'm busy,' or some simple little piece of SOMETHING?! Is it, really? Because I seem to have no trouble with it at all. He tells me that I'm the only one who thinks I'm being ignored just because he hasn't answered me for OVER A GOD DAMNED WEEK, when THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOU STUPID SHIT, the thought never crossed my mind until you F*CKING PUT IT OUT THERE!!
I never thought you where ignoring me, Jake, I know you don't, you're not like that. I'm just pissed because you keep telling me one thing and then you do something stupid that completely contradicts it later. You don't answer me when I really need you to, I needed you, and you didn't answer, it was like I didn't even exist to you. I am... So... So f*cking depressed, so stupidly sad and so idiotically and pathetically lonely because I was terrified, and I couldn't reach you, and yet you always tell me you never want me to get hurt, and then you go and do this, and I was so scared, and it was like you didn't even hear me at all...
I'm not perfect. I'm only human. Yet, for some reason, no one seems to remember that recently. Everyone thinks I'm the only thing keeping some semblance of the world sane, and I have enough on my shoulders without having to carry everything else. I don't need this kind of pressure. I've broken down twice this semester because of it, and I'm afraid of what will happen if I keep this up. I don't want to break. I want to be allowed to make my own mistakes without having people breathing down my neck, I want to be able to go out and experience the world and show people that hey, guess what, I actually DO have a brain, and I do know how to use it, despite what you may think. Just because one area suffers doesn't mean everything else does.
For all the people that rely on me, I want to finally be able to rely on someone else. I don't want to have to constantly call just one person, it's not fair to them, I know this from personal experience. I love her for everything she's done, for dealing with all the things we've put each other through, for accepting me for being a imperfect human being. I can never repay her enough for that, and some days, I'm not sure she understands just how much she means to me, how much everything she does and is means to me.
I don't want to be always be okay when I'm not okay, I want to be not okay for once and I want to scream and shout and speak my mind and not have to worry about what it will do to the relationships around me. I want to be able to tell my Dad to f*ck off, let me screw up on my own, stop breathing down my neck, stop giving me your constant excuses of 'I do this because I care,' do you have any idea how hard it's getting for me to believe it? I want to tell Danielle to shut her f*cking mouth up about my brother, because for all his imperfections, her own son is a thousand times worse, and at least my Dad TRIES, thank you very much. It's not his fault that stupid shorties an ass wipe who thinks the world is his play ground. I want to be able to tell my mother that she needs to shut up about my Dad because she hasn't been around for the last few years, she hasn't seen the changes, she hasn't seen how much he's grown and how the man that he's become is so much better then what he used to be, and I'm so proud to call him my father, even if there are days where I really wouldn't mind putting a bullet through his head. I want to tell that stupid good-for-nothing step-father of mine that no, he's not invited to my graduation, because I don't want him there and he can't tell me he really cares because after all the shit that bastard has pulled, he can't fool me. I hate him, I want him to jump off a bridge so my mom can stop being stupid and can find someone who will really do her good. I want to tell my mom that she needs to stop looking at my brother for a while and realize that I've been trying to make an effort, but I can't do everything on my own, and you're doing nothing to help just because I can't stand the rat you live with and I don't want to live with you because there are things my father knows about me that you never could because you stopped listening to long ago to ever hear any of it.
I want to be allowed to be human. When that chance comes, can someone please quietly knock on my door and tell me it's okay to take the stitches off my mouth now?
