how do you want me to start?
dear father,
thank you for introducing me to manhood
you want to guide me in the right directions
but you just wanted to see your fucking
dream that you failed to bring up yourself
so why blame me of trying to breathe harder
and i don't hate you, don't you worry
but it sickens me to see you walk away with pride
does it make you feel like more of a man?
to take my strength that i need to wake up every morning
so make me feel useless, i'm not a human
i rather have you beat me,
then speak the words coming from your heart
if you make me bleed, it'll only hurt for a matter of minutes
so daddy please don't speak and let me see seventeen
i promise to clean up the blood

Damn. Took the words right out of my mouth. Inspired me to write something similar about one of my parents. You do a pretty good job of expressing your feelings. The last two lines are what really touched me. Can't say I feel this way because of his high standards, but it effects me just the same. Keep up the good work! Never give up, as hard as it sometimes seems to imagine, something amazing will come along.
