familiarity leads to insolence

which leads to screaming matches

in the bathroom doorway

and leads to spilled chemicals

staining the tile floor

and painting my skin blue.

it leads to fallen stars

lying broken at the doorsteps

and choking hazards in my

week-old mcdonalds meal

i meant to eat but forgot about.

285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bLF6tXpHr

kind of like how you forgot me,

standing small and shriveled

in the doorframe, dwarfed by

your voices alone. it leads to

hospital visits and disgusted faces

treating acid burns on my forearms.

familiarity leads to insolence.

it leads to forgetting your daughter

and making all the wrong kind of decisions.

love me at my highs, ignore me at my lows.

i’m just the dog barking at your door.

familiar with it’s bite, insolent in its barks.

you yell at it to shut up and it complies.
