I love you father, but you make it so hard for me
You want complete control while I want to be free
Criticizing all that I do
I'm insecure, stupid, and overweight
How can I ever please you?
When I bring C's home from school
You get angry and are ashamed of me
I feel hurt and dumb--why are you so cruel?
I can never meet your expectations
Everything has to be done your way
If not, you think of me as lazy--as if I didn't try
When we talk you never listen to what I have to say
When I walk away--you follow me
I wish I were far from you
I'm still waiting for another day
To finally be free from you
