I won't be called a "little child."
I DO know what I need.
I'm tired of this nonexistance,
My words you now must heed.
I can make my own decisions.
It's, after all, my life.
I won't be put down anymore,
words do cut like a knife.
Time to realize who I am.
I'm not a little girl.
I'll catch them now, and throw them back,
These words that you do hurl.
You still don't understand me,
I guess you never will.
I've tried my best to show you how,
but you won't see until...
It's much too late to turn back time,
you'll regret what was lost,
but ignorance is bliss they say,
no matter what the cost.

Wowers... very powerful poem.  I'm sorry you even had to write this.  I hope you're okay, and I hope things get better.  Until then, here's a *hug* for you.  Email me if you ever need someone to talk to.  Thanks for sharing this.  Well done.

Wow, powerful message to your father.
It was filled with a lot of emotion and I just hope things work out in the end.
Well done.

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

Oh wow! I could really feel you pain in this one. Excellent expression! I really hope you can get things worked out. He does love you, just probably doesn't know how to show it. Wow!
