Because Of You

I find myself feeling so completely
and utterly depressed so often.
It's become a trait that now follows me around.
I cannot rid myself of the unbearable
anger and resentment and pain
that I feel towards you now.
We're so close yet I can barely stand to look at you anymore.
The longer I live here, the more I grow to despise you.
I can find so many obvious selfish qualities about you
that it disgusts me and it's so difficult
not to vent about all the pain I feel because of you,
about all the frustration and rejection because of you.
I want to explain to you all the emotions I have inside me
because of you and yet, for some reason,
I still care what you think of me so I don't.
You're harmful to me. You're harmful to my family
and to my ego.
I can't wait to get away from you,
away from this horrid place,
never to return again.
I've certainly gotten to know you better
since I moved to your turf.
I'd really like to go back to mine
where I don't have to cry myself to sleep
and I don't have to worry about the pain
I may need to endure tomorrow
because of you.
