Dad...

How can you think, im not giving my all? How can you say I dont try? How is it that you sleep when you turn out the lights? To me, they're family. To you, they're just there... I ask, for a reason. All i get:: 'I'm the dad, you're the kid, and I decide.' You say you know all things. This may be true, but You dont know All people Including me. Can't you let me live my life? Let me laugh. Let me learn. And... A few tears may fall. That's inevitable. But they'll fall. And they'll land. In a familiar place: Into the river. Under the bridge. That separates me from you.
