Hear and See

There are some things I’ve never seen and there are some things I’ve never heard. These shall always haunt me deep inside, a part of me would love to go back to change a few things; sadly what I long to hear and what I long to see are all not in my authority. Not wishing such for my spiteful foes and not wishing these things on anymore. I’ve never heard her say... neither have I seen her show...

Growing up with love that came only on special occasions and love that only appeared when it was beneficiary for them. Seeing blood be on pins and needles when good deeds have been done or seeing blood be on pins and needles when loyalty struck. I’ve never heard her say... neither have I seen her show...

Growing up with a plan already made drained me, being expected to look good not to feel good but to uplift their image. “You’ll ruin our reputation...” Hearing sweet words when it’s only beneficiary for them, being expected to stay loyal not because you want to look good or because you want to be good but because your only duty is to uplift their image whether you agree or disagree with what’s on the table. I’ve never heard her say... neither have I seen her show...

Regardless of how we were raised, regardless of their plan for us, we ought to show devotion even though we’ve never heard them say... neither have we seen them show...
