My Dad

Parents want their kids to make friends,
My dad wants me to be friendless ,
He makes me feel self-conscious,
He makes me feel worthless,
He makes me hate myself.
And I would tell my mom my emotions,
But if I do,
She'll turn into my dad,
But I don't want her to because I don't want to hate her.

How am I supposed to feel?
When he forces me to smile and act happy.
How am I supposed to feel?
When all he makes me feel is despair and heartache.
How am I supposed to love him,
When all he does is make the hate boil my blood?

He always tells me how fat I'm and how no one will love me,
He always tells me how I need to act like a young lady or I will have no one,
He always tells me to stay away from people,
Yet he's the one who tells me to talk to others.
He's the one who wants me to be social,
Yet tells me I hang out with my friends too much,
And I need to stop,
Because there's no point,
They will always leave me behind.

Parents want their kids to be happy,
My dad wants me to die miserably.
