Good Bye To You

I can't pretend I understand
How you can be so mean
And then try to take my hand
As if my feelings are unseen.

I can't tell you a lie
It hurts when you don't see
I am hurt and starting to cry
All the while you still tease me.

I won't say that it doesn't hurt
When you ignore me and hide
Saying hurtful things, being so curt
While I try to swim against the tide.

When your gone for the day
I sit at home and prepare
For my escape; how to run away.
Even if I left, I doubt you'd care.

Counting dollars and dimes
Saving every last cent
So I can avoid your crimes
And all the hate you spent.

Some day the sky will be mine
I'll be free to say what I need to
I'll grow some backbone on my spine
And I'll finally say good bye to you.

Author notes

I can't pretend that this isn't an immature poem. It's not very worldly, it's really quite plain. Maybe a little stupid too, but it's how I feel and what I think. How could that be wrong?
