Father

Explosive rage,

Uncontrollable anger.

 

Directed at you,

Or just myself?

 

I hate you,

Always putting me down.

 

I hate myself,

Constantly craving your approval.

 

Your love,

Which I seldom receive.

 

I hate the part of me

That begs for forgiveness,

 

The part of me

That will always just be human.

 

Nothing more,

Nothing more.

 

Tears run down my face.

I cry, hidden in my room.

 

Am I just being

Melodramatic?

 

You scream at me,

I am never good enough.

 

I already know.

Can't you see that?

 

The bitter moment of silence,

Long enough to last a lifetime.

 

For days, I refuse to speak.

Until I learn to love the human part of me.

 

Once again.

Why must you hate me so?
