things escalate
when you have a few drinks in you
i did nothing but sit there
and you attacked me.
told me i wouldn't be able to
handle things
that i'd be a failure
i would accomplish nothing
with my life.
ending up with no skills
and flying through 15 jobs.
you screamed
"get your shit together"
because i didn't sleep one night
you've broken me down in tears
you've broken me.
all i want is your support.
your love.
instead,
you give me your hatred.
your give me your screams.
when you know i'm afraid of it.
why are you like this?
i want your encouragement,
but instead, you just simply say,
that i will fail.
i tell you that makes me feel worse,
all you say is,
"well prove me wrong then."
you've broken me with your torment.
your angry words.
why do you treat your child like this?
why do you take out your anger
on someone who is suffering
enough already?
do you get your satisfaction from
feeling so powerful?
