My struggles were ignored

Saying it with a straight face, too
Basically, you’ve said,‘’It’s not always about you!’’
There’s an echo in the household
Through this, I do what I’m told

Through my struggles
I get zero cuddles
With my Cerebral Palsy
Your response is faulty

The things that were unseen
You had talks with your damaged teen
The things that were seen
You still had talks with your damaged teen

The gall, Dad, the gall
You’ve left me hitting the wall
You’re right, it’s not always about me!
I’m the daughter you’ve refused to see

It’s been all about you, all my life
The EVIL stepmom, your wife
I’m tearing up, writing this poem
It’s finally ‘’always about me’’ in my home!
