When their backbone breaks
<p>Am I pissed?</p><p>No,pissed is too soft. </p><p>And will I complain?</p><p>Fuck no. Complaining is useless with vultures who only know how to take.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’ve torn pieces of myself out just to keep this family afloat.</p><p>I’ve bled, I’ve broken, I’ve killed parts of me for them.</p><p>And what do I get?</p><p>NOTHING.</p><p>Not a cent. Not a damn ounce of care.</p><p><br/></p><p>I would slit my own throat if it meant saving them.</p><p>And they wouldn’t even hand me a fucking tissue while I bled out.</p><p><br/></p><p>The day I choose myself, JUST ONCE, I’m suddenly the devil.</p><p>“Selfish.”</p><p>“Ungrateful.”</p><p>“Doesn’t care about anybody.”</p><p>Shut the fuck up.</p><p><br/></p><p>You leeches wouldn’t survive a single day without me.</p><p>You feed off me, drain me, then spit me out like garbage.</p><p><br/></p><p>One day,I’ll vanish.</p><p>No warning. No note.</p><p>I’ll disappear so completely it’ll feel like I never existed.</p><p><br/></p><p>And when that silence swallows you whole,</p><p>when you choke on the emptiness I leave behind,</p><p>you’ll finally know what it means to lose the best damn thing you ever had.</p>
