Parents are supposed to build their children up.
So why are you tearing me down?
Parents are supposed to bandage the scrapes and cuts.
So why are you the one creating the scars?
Parents are supposed to calm their children down when they are upset.
So why am I more upset when you are around?
Parents are supposed to calm your fears.
So why am I more afraid when you are around?
Every time you open your mouth, another part of me breaks.
   I broke when you called me a freak.
      I broke when you told everyone; and made a joke out of me.
         I broke when you took my childhood away.
            I broke when you told me I'd never be good enough.
               I broke when you told me you gave up on me.
                  I broke when you told me I was a disappointment.
                     I break every day when you scream.
                        I break every time you don't say goodnight to me.
                           I break everytime I think of our relationship,
                              it breaks me because it shouldn't be this way.
