Tired of being made to feel like I can't do anything right
I made a mistake, & you promised to leave it behind
Yet you bring it up again
In front of friends
I have tried to compromise between the two
But neither side realizes what I go through
Crying daily, the stress is almost too much to bear
But neither of you fuckers seem to care
You want it 100% your way & you can't have it
So you act like a child & throw a fit
You fail to see what I have done to try to make peace
Some kind of vague acknowledgement at least
Tired & worn out from being in the middle
Being jerked around like the pied piper is playing his fiddle
Please stop acting like I have not tried
When you haven't seen how many times I have cried
I do what I need to for my kids & my sanity
So I am begging you to JUST LET IT BE
This situation is temporary, you are not
So be patient & let me call every shot
I know its tough you dont need to remind me
Unless your only goal is to make me feel guilty...
