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.
