Comfort child.

I'm a comfort child who's unwanted,
a band aid to my parents' broken spirits.
Forced to grow a pair to shoulder the burden
that my parents wouldn't acknowledge.
They do that by doing to me what's
been done to them as if to say, "
Let's share a life that's painful."
I'm no comfort child. I don't care any more.
Your emotion is yours to ignore, so is
your health, your finance, your power trips & back.
I'm tired of being sick all the time worrying
about if you're warm enough, calm enough, when
you care none of it, so you can't care for me.
I'm a comfort to myself & my heart's desires.
That is all!
