My parents don’t see me. And when they do see me, it’s only because they’re angry about something. My dad golfs and my mom shops and I can’t remember the last time we laughed together. Or just sat quietly together. I’d like to just sit with them. Be a family. Hear them say they love me. I see my friends and they seem to have real families. And maybe everything isn’t as nice as I imagine but I feel like they have more love around them than I do. And that’s more disappointing than I have words for. There’s this thing called the Burning Boat Festival coming up. We do it every year and this year I can tell my mom wants to throw in my dad and my dad wants to throw in my mom. And me, I’d be happy to chuck the whole thing in.
