It is at times like this
When every word you say
Brings me closer to the end
Every change in your voice
Draws the knife closer to my neck
I wonder if its just criticism that I can’t take
If I am that weak
Or is it something else?
The fear of disappointment
The wish to seem perfect in your eyes
I know I am imperfect
But I just want to pretend for you
Yet it seems like every step I take
I don’t move forward.
Instead I take three steps back

Few things could be further from perfection than perfection :/
Walk away… 3 steps back? Take even more steps back and walk away.
I wish it was easy to walk away. Unfortunately, the person who makes me feel this way is a part of my family. I just can’t cut off my relationship with them.
You aren’t here to please anyone
If someone makes you feel like that, you can and should do better
Sorry… your post just called to me
I agree with Ms Eyes. As I almost always do ha.
We shouldn’t live to please others, because then we’re simply living someone else’s life. Also, people shouldn’t get a free pass just because they’re family. Toxic behaviour is still toxic behaviour no matter the ties to the person.
I suppose I get a bit of critism, but it would never be a reason for why I commit suicide. It’s annoying but not like it means anything. You know, the same old disgusting and meaningless bullsh*t….. I chose suicide very young to get out of an empty and horrible life. It has nothing to do with anyone else or what they say, do, think. It doesn’t even have to do with me being raped 182 times or me being molested as a child. There is truly just nothing worth living for.
