Excuse Me, Father.

... Meh. I've always had pretty big problems in my relationship with my father, but it got really bad for a while when he was trying to control my relationships with everyone else around me.

Well excuse me father

                        Excuse me if I’m not the perfect daughter

 

Excuse me if I don’t do everything right

                Excuse me if I can’t tell you things that I don’t know

 

                                Excuse me if I don’t have time and energy to spare for your bullshit

 

Excuse me if I don’t want to listen to you,

 

telling me how to take care of my mother,

                               

           You had your chance and you fucked it up, so butt in and f**k up mine too

 

Excuse me if I’m doing alright without your help.

          

                                      Excuse me if I can take care of myself WITHOUT you

     

                                Excuse me if I do know how to handle my own relationships, and feel my own feelings

 

                                                Wait no, me care about anyone but myself? That’s impossible!

                          

 “It’s always about you!”

No dad, it’s always about you

               

                Excuse me if I don’t like it when I come home and find messing with my stuff

 

Excuse me if I “insult” you when I ask you to pay attention to the hypocrisy of your actions

 

You know what? F**k this. Excuse YOU father

 

You’re the one who does the insulting

                               

                                                                                 B***h                                         Little S**t

                   

 

                        Baby

                                    Cry Baby             

Little F**k

Sound familiar father?

 

No? Excuse me,

 Let me clear things up:

 

Those are some of your favorite things to call me,

But insults, or perhaps a form of disrespect?                                      

                                               Not in your eyes.
