The phone rings and I don’t recognize the number
I keep to myself these days so I figure
it might be a telemarketer
It rings and rings and finally I answer
just to tell them to go (Jack off)
but I hear a familiar voice and cringe
I go through the motions and say,
“Hi, how are you doing”
meanwhile I don’t want to know
It feels like an energy vampire
sucking the life out of me
even through a phone
My life is so challenging
and can be emotionally and physically
exhausting so I don’t have the energy
to play games with someone that never
brought joy to my life?
but how do you tell someone
that you don’t like them or the
energy they bring to your world?
How do you tell them that you
don’t want to be part of their life
anymore when they are your
parent?….
