You say you know me
But you don't know me
You don't know or understand how much
I cried over you
I wanted to yell at you
How much I wanted to block you off of my life
But I couldn't
Because you were the parents
And I was the child
I shouldn't have to tell you how to treated your kids
I shouldn't have to beg you to love me
Beg you to see me
As person
I shouldn't have to be crying over you and how you treated me
As if I was nothing
Not even a soul
I shouldn't have to tip toe around you
I shouldn't have to be lying wide awake every night
Wondering if you were going to harm me or my siblings while we were asleep
I didn't have to stand watch whenever you came around my siblings or my mom
I didn't have to deal with "I'm the parent " you are the child"
Clearly you didn't know me
I tried my best
And my hardest to be loved by you
But you didn't care
You didn't care to be a dad
Until it was too late
You lost me and the bond with all the fear you instilled in me
