You'Re Just a Stranger

Why do you despise me why can't you let me be, how come you always pestering me. How come you can not see I am beginning to turn my love away from thee Just as you are turning your hate on me. I proceed biting my words back and just nodding my head you think i am the one to blame but you'll end up losing me instead. I try to talk to you, but you cut me out and shut your ears where will this get us in fifteen or so years. You bring down the pressure while i try to do as you say Only until i lose, you win will you stop yelling and walk away. Here i sit, expressing my stress on paper only hoping tomorrow will bring something better and that i won't lose my life forever. Please forgive me for this paper may be wet with tears I know this is a stage in life, I pray will pass in a few years. As i write my anger fades but when i think about you it returns I hope we both learn from this For I may lack empathy but you are always so very stern. It seems everything I do has gotten on your nerves And I know you don't hold it inside For your anger does surly splurge. Tonight you have taken my phone and cut me off from my friends I truly need your words hit me hard, and to you I can not plead. Someday I may realize what you did was probably right I will try to understand, I will try with all my might. But until that day or until through my eyes you see, You are still a stranger You're just a stranger to me. Nov. 21. 2011

A lot of emotion in this write..I can see you are struggling with a parent.They just want your life to be better then theirs I think.Parents now a days are overwhelmed with stress of life.And sometimes they forget that you love them.So they feel they are doing it all for nothing.Great write! :o) Hang in there...
