Ode To An A*s Hole

I wrote this after a fight with a family member I live with aka my father...

So listen to me now

Because you never do.

I'm sick of being hurt

Every time by you.

 

No matter what I say,

No exaggeration,I'm always wrong.

So this is the day

I've been here too long.

 

You yell at me,

I break down.

Everyday life

Goes around & around.

I feel so low

As I hit the ground.

 

So I'm taking my stuff

To try to find a home.

I've had enough,

I wanna be alone.

 

You can't expect me to let you treat me like s**t,

Talk to me as if I'm a dog

& tell me too sit.

I'm leaving you in the fog.

 

This may seem cliche'.

A teen angst piece of work,

But it's worse than that.

In the shadows I lurk

With a broken heart.

No need for revenge or hate.

I sit here crying

As I wait.

To not be a victim of tragic fate.

 

Ode to an a*s hole...

I loved you

But you felt nothing for me.

My love shined through.

In your eyes,

Nothing I'll always be.

I'm walking away so I can feel brand new.

Now can you see?

I'm leaving you.

Author's Note

Before you review let me just say that this isn't the overdone teenage anger I have...I'm more hurt than angry, I can't sit down & talk with my dad because he kills my confidence & breaks my heart even though he's only been in my life for 1 year & a half.

Well, I was immediately drawn in by the title (which made me chuckle a bit with it's obvious anger XD) - but the poem that followed was much more mature than I was expecting. Your hurt & longing for something new is evident, and it's a true tragedy that you tell in this poem. Great job. =)

I know exactly - and I mean exactly - where this is coming from. You wrote down what I was always too infuriated to pen. In a way it's a refreshing read because it's like you lifted a weight off my chest for me. You did a beautiful job of expressing yourself clearly. I think the line "Nothing I'll always be" sounds like it may be there because you couldn't think of another rhyme. But this is a great piece of work. No way it's overdoen angst!

this is heartbreaking.
I'm so sorry that your Dad makes you feel this way. I wish to hell they'd give all dad's some sort of handbook upon impregnating moms, so many fall short so often.
This piece is bringing tears to my eyes as I write, I can feel the misery coming off the screen.
I wish the best for you and hope you find a supportive environment to blossom in.
Much love~~
