Father

I bite my tongue and I try not to cry This really hurts You're my father And I am your daughter Why are you screaming? "You are Worthless" "Kill yourself you pathetic swine" I cover my ears, an attempt to keep the words away. Father please, Please hear my pleas Don't tell me these cruel and awe-full things anymore. I'm tired and I feel like giving up If I get sick and almost die will you care? I don't know but Father I love you I love you even though you are hurting me Please stop it Father I just want you to love me too.
