Try

You frustrate me to the point where tears fall from my eyes
And leave my ears ringing from rage
Your thoughtless words burn me with a pain that never seems to cease
We can't agree on this subject
And neither of us are willing to drop the topic
You are stubborn and I am proud
His hurtful actions from the past are fresh in your mind
Yet all I know of him is the stories I've heard and what he has told me
You don't understand why I'm attached already
Why I care for a man I barely know
And honestly, I'm afraid to tell you the reasons
Because I know that your tone of voice will remain ice cold while your words drip fire
Disappointment is all I see in your eyes when I speak of him
I have always yearned for a father of my own
One that truly cares and wants to be in my life
Now that he has entered my present life,
I am determined to make sure that he continues to exist in my future
You want him gone like before
But I need him
I have missed having a father figure to teach me things that a mother really can't
Why can't we talk about my father without you getting upset?
Or discuss him without a sarcastic remark or outburst from you?
It hurts hearing you put him down
I am his flesh and blood also!
Can't you just give him a chance?
Talk to him for a little while
Get to know him
You may change your current opinions
Please do this for me?
I realize that this is no easy task
But to me it is essential
