why do you have to control me?
what I wear
where I go
if i'm allowed out
why do you have to shout at me
hit me
make me scared

everyday I pray that you're not in
because you scare me
you scare me to the point where I want to be alone
you pressure me to get good grades
and shout if I get a B and not an A
it's not about effort anymore
its about getting an A

you tell me which university I can go to
and what job I have to do
but you forget that it's my life
and soon you wont be in it.
I want to move to mums house
but you wont let me
you shout and scream to make me stay
and that's when I feel alone, afraid
