What is this? A war?
A neverending fight?
A slam of the door,
Shut with all your might?

And why is this happening?
I’m trying so hard.
Yet you sit there, laughing,
Sending me out to the yard.

How long do you expect me
To go on like this?
Open those eyes and see
I’m not like you- ignorance isn’t bliss.

Deny the fact you hate me,
But act like you do.
That’s your game
And it comes straight out of the blue.

I must deserve
Absolutely no respect,
And your words to me
Must not have any effect.

But I do deserve love
Just like everyone else
I hate you and it hurts
But I treat you all so well.

You haven’t a clue
What you’ve done to me
You’ve stripped me of my voice,
That loud and terrifying plea.

A plea that I need you
Right here by my side.
Don’t worry, I’m not much,
I’m not THAT wide!

You come in from work
And immediately yell,
“What have you done?”
And it’s so plain to tell—

You don’t care that I’m a person
Just like you and mom.
You command and demand
As would an exploding bomb.

But the moment a sister
Walks into the room,
It’s, “Hi, How as your day?”
And there’s nothing more to assume.

How’d you choose me,
Over all of the rest?
I’m stupid, I know.
I’m not the best.

But I can’t be that bad.
I try so hard to please,
And for what in return?
A swarm of your buzzing fleas.

Yes, I’m infested,
With the hate that you gave.
To me for my birthday,
And saved for my wedding day.

Please just say “I love you”
And I can try even harder.
‘Cuz my heart has been broken,
By my very own father.
