Sure "It's not abuse", it's not like you always hit me when I say something wrong,

It's not like you laugh at me when I'm crying and tell me to "be strong".

My arms and thighs are bruised, but you'll always be my favorite family member,

I'll always forgive you, but I'll always remember.

You always yell and scream at me at like 3am,

Just because your dealer didn't bring you the right amount of gram.

I can't change that you don't realize how much you hurt me,

But it's okay, because I know you love me, even though I can't see.

You're always so fun to be around, watching movies, making jokes,

But you get different if you don't get your coke.

I wish you'd not turn into a monster at night,

Bearing your claws, picking a fight,

Feeling the need to punch me, out of spite.

Teeth full of blood as you tear through my flesh,

Turning my teeth and my bones into mesh.
