Accommodate Until I Break

I started accommodating at 2 years old

First it was just normal stuff

Staying quiet

Being careful

Make sure the baby is happy

I thought it would stop

But I’m still accommodating

Bending

Twisting

Just to keep them happy

Change my plans

And keep my mouth shut

I’ve given up

On the idea of someone putting me first

My needs

Maybe I should throw a tantrum

Cry and scream

Yell and stomp

Put them first

Always

So I’m just

Bending

Twisting

Then I’ll

Snap

Break

Crack

Accommodate

Until I break
