Estranged

The power, abused. The truth, confused. The way, dictated to you. The excuse, they never knew. The mind, free to roam. The thoughts of yours, your own. The shackles that you’ll never wear. The love demanded, who cares? The pain chewed and swallowed down The mind protected with hollows ground. The person you know you are. The conflict, always blamed all on you. The creature that they created is you. The realisation that they’ll never care. The unsaid wish that you just weren’t there.
