Dear Grandma

Dear grandma i am loved 
The day you stood there in front of me saying no one loves me 
That day i realized you were just lonely or so i thought 

People always told me you belong in this world for a reason 
But what is that reason so my own grandmother can tell me i'm not worth it 
For her to call me a **** because i have guy friends 

I get it we come from two different generations, but that is no excuse 
That is no excuse to call me a ***** because i want to be with my dad and not you 
That is no excuse to say i need to be different then the way my mother raised my siblings 

You sit there saying you love me one minute, but your story changes life the tide of the ocean
You can be the sweet and calm tide that loves me, but then another minute 
You can be the rough and aggressive tide that will pull me in to take me down. 

I don't talk to those guys because i am a **** 
I talk to them because we are friends 
I talk to them because without them i wouldn't be standing here taking your crap anymore. 

Those guy keep me alive 
Those guys make me feel special 
Those guys are my friends 

So Dear grandma thanks for showing me i don't need you 
Dear grandma thanks for showing me the light i needed in my life 
Dear grandma thank you.
