Honour

Honour thy Mother and thy Father
Respect and treat them with care
It says nothing about love
So why am I still here?

I’m bound by flesh
Bound by blood
Why is my obedience
Never enough?

It doesn’t matter though
My family life is just lies
A show
Played off by our eyes.

We seem fine
I’m waiting for us to fall
Waiting for this charade to collapse
And kill us all.
