Mi Familia

I’ve been getting unreasonably upset recently 

I don’t know what's wrong with me 

Everything comes out as a silent plea 

Begging to be noticed, begging to be set free 

 Like my trust in them, both are too hard to restore

All of my thoughts are in a constant war 

I feel like I can’t breathe anymore 

1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 

Nothing seems to work 

Everything in my mind that happens when thinking about the unfairness of home 

I slowly begin to gloam 

I find it funny how my siblings also get everything else I don’t

They get my parents' attention and affection 

I’m always the infection 

They get more screen time 

I’m always the mime 

They get everything they could ever ask for 

I get held back and ignored
