You Talk & Tell Poem by Angel Gaus

You talk
About
Driving into
a lake
and
drowning

You talk
About
Moving away
Again

I'm your daughter, but yet
you still tell me
everything that's bad in this world.

You tell me that you don't want me to be like you.

You talk
About
How messed up your past was
How messed up the present is

You tell me
I'm on my phone too much

You tell me
My sexuality is just
A faze

You tell me
I don't do something
if it doesn't effect me

You tell me
Things that aren't true
But

You still tell me
And
Talk about it
