Your fiery words burned in such a way that my souls is still charred
Only proud when I'm doing good
The pressure from your weight on my shoulders has caused me to crack
Yet I'm am perceived as weak
The wolf tore away my insides leaving nothing but a hollow shell
Filling with more disorders being diagnosed
Yet you roll your eyes when I say life is too much
I'm a baby because I cannot handle a job
But it feels like the walls around me are closing in and I certainly cannot breathe
Father why do you not love me?
Your approval is all that I've ever wanted
Not once has it came
Father why do you not understand?
I am hurting more than a band aid could fix
Father why do you turn your head?
Crying is weak that's why it can never be shown
Father why did you never notice?
Always skipping meals trying to wither away into nothing more than bone
Please father I need an answer
Thousands of questions race in my mind
Finally you turn around and I let the tears slip from my eyes
Father goodbye
