The Poems Of Me

Excuses

You don't try-simple as that
It's been about a year now
Where's that new excuse at?
Never mind, you don't care anyhow

Six months without a new job
That's okay, I'll take your responsibility
You continue to be a slob
And yet you call me a liability

I know its hard, four years of lying around
But you've got two children, get up
You can't lay about safe and sound
Acting as though I'm the one screwed up

You say you're trying your best
Then how come you've done nothing?
Looks like you just sit around and rest
Your sister is the only one doing something

She raised us from day one
And now she's continuing your duty
Though my development has only just begun
Your words stab right through me

I'm not the perfect daughter
I know I never will be
But I'm trying a lot harder
Than you will ever care to see

I'm aware my life is small and new
And I know little of the world's pain
You make me feel like my issues are few
I can't help but be filled with shame

I hope that one day
I'll overcome the fear you've planted
So I can finally get away
My heart, a curse, to be enchanted
