As if the economy itself
isn't a gig.
May
you never be
the reason
someone who loves
to sing, does not anymore.
Or why somebody has dimmed themselves as to not blind you.
Or why somebody who always spoke so wildly of their dreams and excitements, is now silent about them.
May you never be the reason for someone watering themselv down,
giving up on a part of them,
because you were demotivating, non appreciative or sarcastic about them.
May you never be that cold.

just know that i tried my best.
you think i'm heartless and cruel
but all these things you say
i learnt them all from both of you.
i was never the favourite kid.
i must have kept a strong streak in second place.
how could you both make me feel so great yet insignificant?
just know that for the longest time i was living for you.
grades, friendships, barbeques...somehow everything was to make you proud.
i was hanging onto every compliment,
why is it that i could keep count?
when i drew the line. no, when you both forced me to build this wall, it was also for you.
how many things did i keep from you?
how many nights did i wish that you weren't my parents?
how embarassing at my big age i still feel stuck in this place.
just know that i was trying my best.
i didn't respond but still paid all your bills well before the due date.
if i was no longer the quiet kid who did well on their own,
then now i was the distant adult who you could still depend on.
it's so painfully superficial, my heart can't find rest.
you adored the others for merely existing yet scorned at me for failing tests.
i'm sorry for my past self who fought so hard.
surely i could forgive myself for throwing in the towel.
surely they won't notice i've given up on them now.

and you say that all the time.
i should be grateful.
rushing to help you before you even call.
i'll miss you when you're gone
you say that all the time.
well my eyes sting and my throat feels like it's on fire.
my chest is tight and my narrow shoulders are heavy.
despite your grand promises; i'm still so lonely.
perhaps i'll miss it.
i'll probably miss it.
but it'll be in some deluded, distant way.
the way that traumatic memories are buried in the mind and only the bearable ones linger.
with time i'm sure even those sad nights will glimmer.
so you're right. i'm going to miss this.
some day, some how even this pain will glow.

Avoid those who attempt
to establish dominance in relationships by diminishing the
self-worth of others. If they're not willing to commit to
diminishing your self-worth exclusively, you need to move
on.
