Family Matters

By BrideToAgony

I'm sick of you
And you too

You both need to 
Grow up
Grow a pair
Grow some God damned self-respect

Do you not realize what you're doing?
To me...
To her...
To yourselves...
To this family..?

Honestly, how do you even sleep at night?
All you ever talk about is 
Money
Parties
Appearances
Yourselves

So superficial
So gluttonous
So narcissistic

I'm done with the both of you
Get out of 
My life
My head
My way

I'm ready for a change
To put myself first
To put her first

Something you two 
Never wanted to do
Never could do
Never will do

For so many years we relied upon you to provide
Comfort
Security
Encouragement
Nourishment
Warmth

But all we ever found was your
Childish
Irresponsible
Selfish behavior

If you can't act as parents should, get out
We don't need you anymore
We never did

(In a softer tone)
Come on little sis, we're gonna help mommy and daddy pack some things
