Proud


My father told me he was proud of me once,
I had never been so happy in my life,
My mother said she was disappointed in me today,
I've heard it a million times,
My father told my brother he was proud of him again,
I've heard it a million times,
My mother said my brother could never disappoint,
I've never felt so unimportant in my life.
