Because I Love You


Because I love you

I pay for your college-preparatory high school education,

I provide nutritious food for you,

I give you designer-brand clothes whenever I can afford to

Even though we don’t have enough money.

 

So I expect you

To earn straight A’s in school,

To eat all of the food I lay in front of you,

To wear everything I buy, even if it’s not in your taste

And eventually earn back all the money I spent.

 

If you don’t,

Then do you really love me?

Because I love you,

But only if you obey.

Other than writing poetry, I love coding, learning historical stories, and reading fiction books in my free time.
