Leave Me Alone

by Cadence McCracken
(Martinez CA)

Always there to push me down,
always there to roll your eyes.
You're always there to insult me
whenever you hear my cries.

You're always there to smack me
whenever I show any disrespect.
When you treat me like I'm nothing, dad,
what else can you expect?

No, leave me alone.
I'm done with you.
I'm ready to run away.
No, leave me alone.
What did I do?
I'm done with you today.

You don't care when I cut myself
because of what you say.
No, you call me an ungrateful bitch
and turn to walk away.

You're ALWAYS THERE, but I want you GONE.
Why can't you f--kig see?
After every time I've cried for you,
you'll get no love from me.

No, leave me alone.
I'm done with you.
I'm ready to run away.
No, leave me alone.
What did I do?
I'm done with you today.
