we pass it back and forth
like a hot potato
and it burns oh how it burns
a pair of hypocrites
causing each other pain
you yell, I ignore
you ignore, I yell (in my mind, not at you. I am an adult).
I wish it were different
the anxiety of setting a boundary
is harsher than whiplash
slaps you in the face
forget it forget it forget it
like me like me like me
choose me choose me choose me
but if I betray myself
despite all the pressure you put on me
the only person I have to blame
the person who most suffers
is me
and it is only my life
that I can save.
