I'll Have it Your Way

By Abbyernathie

Why do you gotta
always be right?
and why do I gotta
always be wrong?
you oppose all opposition,
you dispise my disposition
to disagree.
so i guess i'll just
have it your way.
How come everything
i say is stupid?
How come you say i
Act so retarded?
just because all of
what you are
is all of
what i'm not?
it's not like i try
to disappoint you.
it's not like i try
to let you down.
so why do you point out
all my mistakes
everytime that
i fall down?


i wrote this poem about my mother...anyone who knows me knows what she's like...read the poem then you do the math...

    Some ppl can never understand their kids no matter how hard they try, and they insult, and drag the kids down, just to make them something they are not. Stupid parents. bleh.~Mikey
