I spend my life working
for a better future
for a kinder world
for whatever reason
and yet, something still finds a way to go wrong
I go through hell and finally get out of it
and yet I still have no say in my life.
"$1.65 every day," you say.
Shall we do the math?
That's roughly $49.50 a month, $594 a year, for the past 13 years which is $7,722.
Imagine that,
If you were smart, or if you even cared,
You would have set that aside
To help out
But instead
I will never see a cent of that
And will instead "owe you"
$6,000
Because I am:
too stupid
not determined
lazy
a fuck up
a disgrace that does not deserve anything.
You want to dominate and control me when the timing is convenient for you but when it comes time for you to provide for me, I am shit out of luck.
But, why would you?
Why would you take care of a fat, queer, equality extremist? Why would you waste your money on something you don't support? Why would you even consider helping out your child?
Oh wait, that's right.
We aren't your children.
Which I guess is an excuse for one of you
But the other one? The answer to that question still baffles me.
I suppose it's hard to raise children when you are still a child yourself.
