Will you love me Dad?

by ElegantlyWasted   Dec 23, 2004


"Stop it Dad I'm not a child"
He just doesn't understand
I'm sick of the way he yells at me
So he can prove he's a real man

I've never been good enough
To ever make him proud
So every night i wear it
The neighbors hear its so loud

First he pounds up the stairs
Smiling from ear to ear
He yells at my door for ages
About how he wished I'd care

He tells me that I'm lazy
A real waste of space
I try to block him out
And dream of a better place

He calls me downstairs for tea
"Why hasn't the washing been done?"
Tears begin to blur my sight
"Why cant you be like my son"

I'll run and hide for days
And cry myself to sleep
It's hard when he hates me
Because I'm "Just to weak"

Tonight is another chance
For him to act all wise
He'll tell me the army's a joke
And that I'm filled with lies

He doesn't like my hair
Because its far to long
He hates the way i dress
And tell him when he's wrong

I don't like it when I'm scared
Because inside i know he's cold
I should stand up for myself
Instead of always being told

But after all of this pain
I know i can pull through
I don't need fashion advice dad,
I just want you to love me to.

-On behalf of Tommo again..not applying to myself-

    I am 30 and my mother acts like I am a child more now than she did when I was 2!!!! They say you have to learn to respect your parents......so I ask? When do they learn to respect you as a human? Not a child? Good Poem.....I feel for you, being 18 sucks at times....no one ever seems to understand. I remember that too vividly now that I am 30!!!!
