Mother Dearest Part 2

Maybe it's a part two, maybe it's its own entity. (did I just write it's and its next to each other?)

Throughout the years,

After all the lies I've been told,

I realize more and more of the truth.

The pressure I felt?

It was never about me.

You told me that my success was important,

And yet in the same breath that I was not.

You told me that you loved me,

And at the end of the day,

That I am the sole reason for your misery.

Despite the pain you have caused,

No matter the cost,

I want you to be happy.

I want you to find what you're looking for.

Even though I know it will not happen.

Because what you want is everything.

Only having everything will make you happy.

But happiness is everything.

And you will never see it.

Author's Note

Yes, the punctuation is all over the place. For me, punctuation is not grammatical. It's indicative of pauses and tone of voice. It reflects exactly how I thought of it. At the end, I got a bit choked up, so the periods reflect the pauses as the "speech" becomes more broken.
