You were not there when I needed you.
Yet you want full control of my life.
I’m expected to fulfill every duty,
But I’m not allowed to have expectations from you.
I crave your validation,
But all I ever receive is criticism.
Just for once think of me.
I’m a part of you.
I carry your name.
You were not there when I needed you.
Not when I stayed silent just to keep peace.
Still, you want full control of my life.
Of my choices, my dreams, my becoming.
You were not there when I needed you.
But I’m still here.
Not for your control
But for your support
