Brainwashed

A Poem by Jb

I think I need to look around
And stop telling myself that it will all be Ok
Because I only have so much control
Over the delusions 
Of those I love
Yes I love them
Even if they may not love me
Yes, I'm thankful for them
Because they've given me a roof over my head
They always made sure I was fed (even if I chose otherwise)
And they tried their best
To break me of my self-destruction
So I really can't blame them now
For making the memories I want to erase
For saying the words I want to erase
For the cuts that I want to erase
For the trophies that have shattered against my wall
That I want so badly to glue together
Because I want so badly
To glue us all back together
But that ship has sailed
So it's time to stop kidding myself
It's not all going to be Ok
It's going to be hell for awhile
Trying to break free
From the wrong I've been taught
Was right all my life
But I have to do it
Because if I succumb to them
If I remain trapped within
I'll never be free
So it's time too look around and see
Just the pure insanity
That I may or may not have caused
This shamble of a home to be
