I need you

I need you,
I need you so bad
That I can't even explain
Just how much I need you,
I need you to understand me,
I need you to just love me
And not to judge me!
I need you to understand why!
That all I need you to do!
Can't you see why
I can't be loved?
Can't you see why
I fight alone?
Can't you see why?
Can't you?
Can't see why I need you?
Mom, dad and daddy
Can't you see why!?
Or is this just passing you by?
Why can't you see that I need you!?
Mommy
Why did you do drugs all day long?
Why did you marry that husband of yours?
Why can't you see how much I need you?
Mommy I need you
Please mommy
Love me instead
Of hating me!
Please!
Dad
Why did you hit me?
Why was I a slave
Instead of a daughter?
Why was I never any good enough for you?
Dad why do hate me so much?
Dad I need you to love me!
I need you to say
It's okay.
Dad
I need you to love me!
Daddy
Why did you leave me!?
Why did you leave me with my drug addicted mother!?
Why
Did you only feed me once a day?
Why did you leave me alone
To fight the world on my own?
Why?
Daddy
I miss you,
Can't you see why I need you?
Am I really
Unlovable child?
Am I really that bad of a kid?
Am I just a burden to you?
What am I to you?

Wow this is a very strong poem with sad subject matter. Not an easy thing to write about, for sure. But you have pulled it off.

Nice Job
