PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You always shoot me down

Because you know you can

You're my father

You have that power

You love to tell me how everything is my fault

And I'm starting to believe it

You told me today

How all the reasons your life was so bad was because of me

And how I don't deserve love and happiness

Those were your exact words

That being a teenager isn't about fun

Or about friends

And I know that's not all it's about

I never claimed I was perfect

I know I'm not

And when I tell you how your words make me feel

You throw that in my face too

You don't feel bad at all

You like seeing me cry

Because it makes you feel big

And you do it everyday

Tell me why I deserve being made miserable

Makes me think that you'd be so much happier if I wasn't born

And that's not something I have the power to change

And today I say that I won't let you hurt me anymore

And tomorrow I'll forgive you for everything

Because it's life

And I don't deserve any better

I believe what you say
