Needed to be Said

You call me foolish and naive ,
I call you jealous and hateful.

You scream and fight me,
I turn away from you.

You condemn and judge me,
I simply don't care and move on.

You tell me I'm wrong and I'm going to ruin my life. You tell me I don't understand how I feel. That I am sheltered and foolish. At evert turn you find a way to insult me and twist my words. Well I say this to you:

For once in my life look at me and actually see me for who I really am. See me for the woman I am and not Tue foolish girl I once was. Yes, I realize my life isn't as bad as some, but it sure as hell wasn't perfect. And with that said, I never really had a childhood. I was never really the foolish little girl you see.

I have experienced more things in my short seventeen years of life than you have in your thirty-five. Now don't get me wrong, I love you I do, bit there is only so much someone can take.

I am like a dog that was kicked repeatedly and finally got tired of of and kicked back.

So condemn me, not like I'm not used to it, like you always do. I've given up on trying to gain your respect and love. I can live without it.
