He should know, shouldn’t he?

He said I sucked at expressing myself

I don't think he realised how deep that dagger

Landed inside my heart


He brought up my poetry to use against me

When that's what helps me figure out my feelings


And I know that if he had read even half of them

He would know


And I know that if he paid half the attention that my mom does

He would know


The main reason why I've been going to therapy

Is to get better at the flaw he points out now
