Unwanted Visitor

I'd say I was done, you let me assume I was free

Unwanted Visitor
Giulio D'Alfonso

You tried to bring me down, and I’ll admit it was a good shot.

but to think that this mental game is over, that’s pretty laughable

cause its not. The world never revolved around me, though you made

it seem like it did. Whispers of insult and insecurities, cut through my mind

like a sharp winter breeze. You see where I come from most people would

like to assume you don’t exist, but in fact like a coward you hide in the shadows,

the corners, the mist. Making me feel useless, worthless. You disguised yourself so well.

Looked like pleasure but at soon as you got me you trapped me into my own mental hell.

I’d like to say I’m done and you’d let me

assume I was free

. But as soon as you saw me happy, you changed yourself again. Selling me a palace filled with lies, you always knew

me vs you.

I was too weak to win and as soon as I lost I no doubt let you in. Because in my mind there was no

me without you.

I thought I didn’t deserve to smile. You took note of all my weaknesses, like a therapist you kept them in a

neat file.

But what you didn’t realize was I had found an

escape.

You see through words I could decide my own

mental fate.

And though this fight is nowhere near done. The one thing that truly matters is for now Unwanted Visitor,

this victim finally won.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
