Your words pierce my eardrums
I try to block you out
Angry and hurtful
Lonely and scared
I didn't do anything wrong
I'm not a bad kid
Trying my best to impress
But you don't care at all
Screaming and shouting
The arguing never stops
I need to get away
I sit alone and cry
I wonder if you hate me
And why you treat me bad
Steven's got the problems
But you take it out on me
Remember that fateful night
When I ran away to Kim's?
You really scared me
I was afraid you would hurt me
You've bruised me before
The abuse isn't only recent
The deprivation in the past
Kept away from my mommy
And her side of the family
The fights and hurful words
The drugs and broken bones
I know you hate my mother
But that's no reason
To keep me from her
I need her, I love her
I'm beginning to think you're jealous
Mom and I are close
But it's all your fault
You're just a f ucking a sshole!
I don't need to put up with this
The arguing and accusations
You always hurt my feelings
I don't even know why we
Fight in the first place
My heart is crumbling
Pieces of my soul
Come up missing
And you don't even care
When will this tyranny stop?
When will we be a family?
When can we smile?
When can we laugh?
Daddy dearest,
When can we truly show our love for each other?
