eraser

by Chanel - Virgo

i cant imagine
the hurt i inflicted
by just removing myself...
cutting my face
out of every family
portrait
and then i wonder
why theyre arent
any pictures of me

solitude breeds
inter understanding
and even though that excuse
wont fly with them
the truth
would be much harder
to swallow

i choose to be removed
 i was born alone
i was born abandoned
even before you actually decided to do it 
i like not seeing you
and i hate you for missing me
because
in a way
its only because its your obligation
its a duty
to long
for your child

i cant muster up emotions
that are lacking in my soul..
ive never felt that burning
loyalty
to family...
and i refuse
to apologize
for not having it


Reason for writing:

    i havent seen them in a really long time...and now im going to...
