A Life Of Abuse

You’re so full of anger, bitterness and rage.

You’re like a permeated evil, that we need to sage.

You scream and you yell. You belittle us all.

You turn any conversation into a brawl.

The way that you treat us, like we make you that way.

I honestly can’t believe the things that you say.

Why are you so miserable? So extremely hateful?

If you’d ever show us love, we’d be eternally grateful.

But instead it’s the same insufferable mood everyday.

You make life so unbearable, we just might runaway.

But instead of standing up to you like we know we should.

We cower and collapse… like the meaning's understood.

That we’ll never measure up, or be good enough for you.

We can’t believe all the abuse that you've put us through.

But it has to stop. We don't know what all it's for.

The abuse is worse than ever before.

If you don’t change your ways we’re all out that door.

It has to end now. We can't take anymore.
