This is a poem...that I wrote quite a long time ago and I just happened to have found it. It kinda rambles on though...
Thank You
You seem to be always yelling
Trying to break me down
I try so hard to make you happy
But my efforts get shot to the ground
Everything you do to me
Hurts me more and more
I hope that in the future
I'll be able to even the score
But just to keep in mind
That there may be just one thing
Something good that comes from this
Something that keeps me living
Later in my life
When I have kids of my own
I'll think back to my life right now
And everything that I've known
I'll remember all you said to me
Those words that haunt me all my life
Those words you said that hurt so much
As if you were stabbing me with a knife
I'll remember all those moments
When I fight with kids of my own
I won't forget a thing you said
Or the feelings that I've shown
You say you don't know what to do
You say it's impossible to please me
You know I'm only a teenager
I don't know how to make you see.
Sometimes in people's lives
They need to be left alone
Just to have some quiet time
Some time to call their own
If that is what you think of me
Then you should know what I think of you
It seems that every step I take
Is another mistake to you
I'm really sorry to say it
But I'm not the same as you
I can't walk in your footsteps
Or live the way you want me to
I have dreams of my own
Things I'd like to do
I'm supposed to have dreams
Sorry they're not the same as you
All these fights we've had
Do you know to me what they'll do?
They'll make me a better person inside
And it's all thanks to you.
