When I was 3
I threw a fit
And my dad put me in the corner
But I forgave him
Because we had pancakes the next day.
When I was 7
I hit my brother
And my dad made me say sorry
But I forgave him
Because my brother said sorry too.
When I was 11
I got a bad grade
And my dad hit me with a belt
But I forgave him
Because he said I was smart.
When I was 14
I loved a boy with all my heart
And my dad said no one would love me
And now I don't know how to forgive him
Because my dad was right.
