emotional poem
Listen cry baby,
I don't think you understand,
That maybe,just maybe,
You need to take a stand.
You can't be a coward,
From atop your tower.
You can't get down,
If you're scared of the town.
I hate you so much.
My feelings you won't touch.
I don't need you now.
But you need me,somehow.
I want you to see,
What you've done to me.
You're such a cry baby!
And I thought maybe,
You'd be stronger.
You're yelling,you can't take it any longer.
You're screaming at me.
In your eyes I see ,
A certain pain,
That I've yet to gain.
I guess I should give in.
But my patience is wearing thin.
I can see inside you're dying,
But outside you're not trying.
Stop that!
You know nothing about me.
You're not ever where I'm at.
You've never been here when I needed you,
And you know thats true.
You see me crying,
While to myself I'm lying.
You're still not trying,
Even while I'm dying.
I want you around,
But I won't be hurt this time,
So I'll stand my ground.
It isn't a crime.
I'm looking in the mirror,
And already I see clearer.
I'm not the daughter,
That you can just slaughter!
I'll play along,
'Cause you're hurt.
I'll try to be strong,
And keep my face from the dirt.
You're a cry baby.
I thought that maybe,
You'd be here for me.
But I was wrong,I see.
Let me be me,
So I can be free.
I'm stronger than you think,
You're not my only link.
How can you call yourself a dad?
When you left behind kids and stay glad.
This poem is special for you.
And know there is a problem that you can't undo.
