this one's pretty self-explanatory-i know its not good but i really needed to get all this out

-=I Don't Need You=-
how can you sit there and destroy me
and expect me not to snap
im sick of this, are you to blind to see?

with every word you're tearing me apart
and im trying not to lash out
but ive wanted to from the start

why cant you just let it all go
and let me live my own life
so I can take it nice and slow

I think I've proven I dont need you
you're no longer the Dad I love
you're the one I thought I knew

Kiley... this is what I call raw poetic power.
You had an impact in here that was achieved in the abrupcy of the last stanza... what a shock you set me up for. I sat back and said "whoa." Not a word of a lie!
The rhyme was pretty interesting, but the best part of this poem is, no doubt, its impact.
Very well done here. Please don't show this to your father though... if I was the target of such a poem, it would be greatly hurtful.
So talk to him instead. And if you need to talk to me, well hey, you can do that too!

I thought you did well with your expression here. I hope things get better for you and your father.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This is a good poem. I hope things aren't dangerously bad between you and your father... This is a meaningful poem, and I hope things get better. Nice job.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

If your father is trying to get to know you, give him a chance.  It may be hard, but nothing in life comes easy.....nothing.  We might not agree all the time with what our parents tell us, but I honestly doubt that they mean to hurt us.  Give him a chance.

Impressive.  I liked the end.  Quite a turn from what I'd thought it was.  The rhyming is well dome too.  Good writing.
