UNresolved Issues



I speak, you fuss
I wonder, you disagree
I'm interested, you opinionate
I cry, you laugh.
I grow, you knock off inches
I fly, you pluck my feathers
I crawl, you manage to kick me
I try, you still say i fail.
There's no right moment
to address an issue with you
You're right, I'm wrong
And that is what is wrong.
I reply, you react
I talk, you yell
I lose respect, you demand it
I'm afraid, but you dont feeli it is your fault.
I defend me, you threatin
I stand my ground, you'll fight
I dont take your sh*t, you steady dish
I let it be known, you hide half of the truth.
Even a child has an opinion
A voice is meant to be heard
How will we ever be anything
If we cant talk like adults?
I fix, you break
I give, you take
I'm tired,you want more
I've become weak, and you cant make me stronger.
I'm your woman
Not your child
You are my man
Not my father.
You're right about one thing though
A person can only take but so much
You always blame me
But i didnt ask for this.
Broken means fix me...
