Tick-Tock

I wish you would just do it
Hit me
Hit someone
Give me a reason

I’m waiting

You’re going to do it
You’ll lose your temper
Just look into the mirror for long enough
That’s all it’ll take

I’m waiting

Bit by bit
You’re getting closer
Nothing can ever be your fault
You can never do any wrong

I’m waiting

You raise your voice at every instance
You make idle threats
You call us stupid, hopeless and useless
We’re no better than dirt to you

I’m waiting

You’re the reason I have low self-esteem
You’re why I look for love in all the wrong places
You’re behind the reasoning for why I can never believe it when someone calls me beautiful
You’re my downfall

I’m so angry

What did I do to deserve this?

What did I ever do to you?

So I’m asking you to just lose it
Lose your temper
Go on

I’m ready…
