Congratulations

Congratulations honey, you finished school!

But I don’t care what you had to sacrifice to achieve your goal.

Congratulations darling, you’ve got a job! 

But I don’t need to know why you needed that job. 

I am happy when you are happy! 

Leave me alone. I don’t want to listen.

I achieved many things in life, but you were never part of it. 

Being there to congratulate me, does not mean you’re being part of my life. 

You didn’t see me cry myself to sleep 

And you didn’t see me scream into my pillow.

You didn’t see me struggle with life, and you didn’t bother to ask. 

You didn’t see me going to school, and you didn’t care to help me out. 

I achieved my goals. 

All alone. I did all that by myself and didn’t bother asking for help. 

Congratulating me won’t make you my hero and it most certainly won’t make me want you. I don’t want you. I don’t like you. I don’t need you. I don’t.

It bothers me that you didn’t care about my life, my feelings, me. 

You never cared about me.

Congratulations, I don’t care anymore.
