Thoughtful Rhymes

Parents

Parents are confusing,
And hurtful and rude,
My dreams are amusing,
And my explaining is rude.

You come in my room,
Stating you want a hug,
And then blatantly assume,
That I see you as a bug.

I'm doing my homework,
Or exercising to do better,
And then you act like a jerk,
And say I'm your debtor.

You state I'm too fat,
Even though I've told you how I feel,
And then you give my head a pat,
And expect me to eat the next meal.

You state I do well in class,
And then get my feelings back up,
But then you compare me to the mass,
And leave me like a kicked pup.

I want to be good,
So please support me.
Now I don't want to eat food,
Or let you see,

How broken I am,
How much stress I have,
The time I need to cram,
And the weight I want to halve.

You say I'm too big,
Too ugly for anyone.
That I'm just some pig,
Someone should shoot with a gun.

I'm sorry I'm not good enough,
No matter how much I try,
And that I act too tough,
Just because I don't want to cry.

You say all these things,
Yet you expect me to smile.
The only thing this brings,
Is agitation that lasts for more than a while.

I'm so fucking done,
With all the hate you tell me,
I'm the only one you slum,
And you'll never let me be.

But I can't run away,
Because I wouldn't have a home.
Yet I don't want to stay,
Because either way I'll end up in a tomb.

You do so much already,
But please just help me out.
Can you please keep me steady,
And speak instead of shout?

How can I respect you,
If you can't respect me?
I'm sorry if this is new to you,
But please just help me be free.

I don't want the insults.
I just want your love.
Stop caring about the results,
And please help me if I'm below or above.
