When they are gone

When they are gone she can say she was a good daughter,
Despite the fact that everything they did left her feeling let down,
Despite the fact that they didn’t care about each other,
Despite the fact that they were an embarrassment,
Despite the boring repetition of their co-dependency,
Despite being constantly dragged into their endless self inflicted problems,
Despite the disappointment,
Despite the tears,
When they are gone at least she can say she was a good daughter.
