You yell at me no matter what I do,

you act like I am not good enough for you.

The things you say about me are not true,

the things you have wrong, if you only knew.

I am not the person I used to be,

I have changed now, why can't you see?

You call me lazy, irresponsible, and careless,

you try to make me seem like a menace.

You are the reason I never had a friend,

the way you acted and held me back.

In front of people you made me pretend,

to keep yourself from coming under attack.

You love to point out all my wrong,

while all you do is scrape along.

You accuse me of things I never did,

while all your wrong, you keep it hid.

I can not wait to leave this place,

to start over fresh away from you.

Where I can live my life with a bright face,

and accomplish more than just make do.

I think of having kids of my own,

and how I will never let them feel alone.

The things you have done I will remember forever,

I will always treat my kids like a treasure.
