Speak
October 2, 2017
I was told a long time ago
I had a mouth
So now I will speak the words
I've always wanted to say
Your hypocrisy has been bothering me
No longer will I sit quiet
As you tear me down
Belittling my worth
You've always treated me
Like I was nothing
Now, I scream
I AM SOMETHING
Your abuse always went unnoticed
I want to hate you
Yet, I can't
You are my family
How am I supposed to feel?
Others say to hate you
Others say its my fault
I hate you, I love you
How should I feel?
I want to know
So I can truly speak

Hypocrisy is a cause to speak. However, when hypocrisy is the advice about what you should say, what do you say?
