I hate but love you

Laura Ann

Free verse
I hate my dad
I love my dad
I hate his selfish ways
I hate the way he treats us
No one should be treated this way.
We want to run
But we are scared so we stay
We are scared we will never get away
From the hurt
From the pain
I just want to feel like a dream
I want him to feel the blame.
We all do
But
I love you dad
