Because those “adult counterparts” in your lives were just, too god DAMN I-M-M-A-T-U-R-E, to COPE with whatever went FUCKING wrong in their marriages, and, thus, you’d become, the S-C-A-P-E-G-O-A-T!
The burdens were, left, for you, to carry, but, you were, WAY too young, to carry those, heavy cement bricks, and walk for over a MILLION miles without rest, and, taking the load off, you’d risk, losing the love your parent had for you, when in truth, they can’t even love themselves, how the F*** (maxed out, remember???) can they possibly love you too, huh?
…picture from online.
The burdens were, left, for you, to carry, you’d NEVER asked for ANY of this, it was, placed, on your plates, and, there’s NO other way, to please those god DAMN parents, but to pretend like you’d, enjoyed what they’d placed on your plate, so, you’d, gobbled UP whatever the FUCK (and your point being???) they handed to you!
The burdens were, left, for you to carry, and, you’d been carrying, these god DAMN burdens, from generations BEFORE for god KNOWS how long, and, you still, can’t put them all down, because, you still feared, losing the love your parents NEVER had for you, even though, they’re, already DEAD, and, you’d become, a middle-aged man too yourself………
…not my photograph.
The burdens they’d left for you to carry, are now, all gone, because they’d both, DIED, and yet, you still feel this heaviness, upon your back, and, you’re now, confused, as to, WHY it is, I mean, after all, the TWO bad people who’d, imposed this hard-to-take burden on you, had, both been DEAD for years on end, and so, why can’t you, let down those god DAMN burdens, huh???
