You call Yourself a Parent

Folder: 
Spoken Word

I feel like you’re nothing but full of lies,

I can see this “you” with my very own eyes.

You claim you have a parent’s undying love,

Yet your so called love looks nothing like the proclaimed dove.

Peace is just the term on the treaty,

But you’re always too needy.

Ne’er in my days would I have thought I’d get the chance to slay,

All the evil, ignorant ways you had me go about in my days

Leading up to this moment.

Hold it.

Isn’t a parent, aren’t you supposed to care?

Not just give me clothes and brush my hair?

Because I feel so alone.

Because where the hell have you gone?

You tell me I should just grow up,

Well, maybe, you shouldn’t disappear then show up.

You say I need to pull my head out of my ass and get a hold of my life

 

Well maybe you’re the reason we have so much strife.
