you told me

that you're happy

that my father

called the cops

on your father

you told me

you hated him

you told me

that

after your mom

died

your father

started

to

hurt you

and ruin himself

your siblings never

made it

your mom was due

to have twins

but she died during

delivery

and the babies

they never made it

you told me

that your father

became an alcoholic

because he got fired

from his job

because of bills that

were never payed for

and he never got

hired from another

company since

you told me

your father threatened

you

that he would kill

you

if you didn't listen

to him

you told me

your grades went

down since

and that you gave up

on yourself

you told me

that you are happy

i'm here

and you told me

you didn't

want me to go

anywhere
