What do I have to do?
I can’t tell you
Use your brain
To see I’m in pain
Agony in fact
Has deep impact
Crushing hopes dreams and ambitions
With no inhibitions
You could at least try
To stop shouting when I cry
To stop nagging when I’m down
Or stop talking when I frown
Work with me
Not against me
Push me along
Not back to where I’m from
I’m trying so hard to pick myself up
But I’m stuck
And you’re not helping

What do I have to do?
To show I need you
I can’t kneel on the ground
You’ll kick me around
My insides already bruised and broken
My words already spoken
Your ears always shut
And you can’t even look
At the daughter that came from you

You must be ashamed

So am I
