I
I need to leave.
Don't you understand?
Who cares about my job!
What's more important,
$140 a week at minimum wage,
or my sanity being preserved?
It's only 2 months.
It's only California.
Please, let me go.
I hide how screwed up I am.
I don't need you sitting there
with your sarcastic tone
asking me
"So what do
you think is wrong with you?"
And you wonder why I won't talk to you.
Instead I use biting remarks
to keep you away.

It is possible to shove someone out.
but I need a population
higher than just me.
Hence why I gave up shoving you out
also because you won't bloody leave.
Maybe it's just that I need
the space right now.
There are days
where I can't tell
your tone.
Are you delibrately hurting me?
or is it that you
don't realize the strength behind
what you say?
Believe it or not,
I listen to what you say.
Believe it or not,
I end up thinking
about what you've told me.
Believe it or not,
I need you more
than either of us would like to admit
