Ode To An A*s Hole

I wrote this after a fight with a family member I live with aka my father...

So listen to me now

Because you never do.

I'm sick of being hurt

Every time by you.

 

No matter what I say,

No exaggeration,I'm always wrong.

So this is the day

I've been here too long.

 

You yell at me,

I break down.

Everyday life

Goes around & around.

I feel so low

As I hit the ground.

 

So I'm taking my stuff

To try to find a home.

I've had enough,

I wanna be alone.

 

You can't expect me to let you treat me like s**t,

Talk to me as if I'm a dog

& tell me too sit.

I'm leaving you in the fog.

 

This may seem cliche'.

A teen angst piece of work,

But it's worse than that.

In the shadows I lurk

With a broken heart.

No need for revenge or hate.

I sit here crying

As I wait.

To not be a victim of tragic fate.

 

Ode to an a*s hole...

I loved you

But you felt nothing for me.

My love shined through.

In your eyes,

Nothing I'll always be.

I'm walking away so I can feel brand new.

Now can you see?

I'm leaving you.

Author's Note

Before you review let me just say that this isn't the overdone teenage anger I have...I'm more hurt than angry, I can't sit down & talk with my dad because he kills my confidence & breaks my heart even though he's only been in my life for 1 year & a half.

Parents can do that occasionally. Not much one can do about it though but persevere.

[Tomás Ó C..]

Dads can be like that!!! Keep with him, you'll come to an understanding in time. Your anger is well expressed here...

[Chloe Madison Taylor.]

Well. Everythings cliche. every bit of s**t in your life i can garuntee to you someone else has been through before.
So everything is overdone.
You just have to find a kickass way of saying it.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Wow this seriously sounds like my father was as i grew up and to this day still can't get along with him so I know where your coming from... I say kudos on venting the truth, just because they are your parent doesn't mean you have to like them.

[CLUTZ]

Saddness.... I hope you get through whatever you're going through with your dad right now. and I know it hurts you, you made that more than clear. but if you tried I guess that's all that can be done. this was good and I never thought this was overdone teenage anger.

Hey! I can partially understand because my father seems to act like that infront of me sometimes. It's still near impossible for me too, to just sit with my parents and talk. Not only my Dad, but even my mom...
It's like the world has stopped believing me since I became a teen...
Anyways, that's the usual stuff I babble out time and again...
I must say that I'm feeling more than sad than you. It always hurts to know that people are being treated in such a way by their own parents. Makes me wanna sit and cry...*sigh*
As for the poem, needless to say, it's stunning. A brilliant piece of poetry overflowing with raw, deep and sad emotions. It's heart-breaking to some point. The rhyme was awesome!!
It's easier said than done, but trying to work out things will surely work here. You tell him that you don't like this attitude of this and although he's new in your life, but as a father, I bet he'd understand. Just tell him everything (ok! I don't literally mean everything. I'm saying about the stuff you've just put into a poem)
I's pray that everything works out for the best. After all, it's pretty hard to be angry with our own parents..
As a friend, I'm always here to listen and help. Can't give an advice as good as your dad's but yeah! I've got loads of them....
Once again, amazing poem. I'm glad I read such a fine work...^_^
As for you, *tight bear hug* (^_^)

So deeply moving and sad, your pain comes through clearly pouring down like a cold rain... As a father, it hurts so much for me to even think of you being so injured by your dad... Such pain you should never have to suffer...
