 Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

Change…


Come here and let me see you a while,
Instead of fleeing away just like always.
I needed you, where did you go?
In a matter of funerals, one right after the other,
My life has been turned upside down,
And when I needed that shoulder to cry on,
You were talking about your girlfriends,
And idiot pranks to play on friends,
But at least I listened.
I needed somebody to hold me up,
You know I cannot hold myself up at these funerals,
And I had to rely on my own wobbly legs until
Two cousins took the place of closer family.
You couldn't care less, you had a sleepover to concern yourself with.
Don't you ever cry for me,
Like I cry for you constantly because
That is how Indian families care for each other.
Don't you ever peer in on me,
Like I do when you are asleep,
To make sure you are really here.
These days, it feels like nothing.
These days,
I have nothing.
No one to sit there and talk to me,
No one to want me in his or her life,
No one to go to the funerals with me and this hurts most of all.
You always make me cry and tear out my heart
As though it were some sort of hobby you gain a trophy for.
Too cool to hang out with your sister and I have done so much for you,
I await the day you want me in your life again,
But by then, it will be too late for me to be living life.
