Talks With Dad


I always hear But I don’t always listen All your yelling, all your fighting Yes your temper, it has risen. I always hear Dads’ priorities are this My priorities are that Can’t you just for a second, please be proud of me, Dad? I always hear Daughter, you’ll never have success. Without money you’re nothing, You already failed the test. Daughter I cannot support you Cause I have a new woman now She’s my number one. How much more can I allow. I always hear But now it’s time to say Your mindset is all wrong Have your priorities gone astray? I need to live for myself, Your standards are just not right I will live for myself, Against you, Dad, I will fight.
