You’re never home.
You’re
Far too busy
Working to pay
For all the money you’ve already spent.

I feel like
You expect us to do everything.
Even though
You never tell us
What you really want.

You never talk
When you’re home
Your focus is the TV
And bills

Why
Why do you still spend the money
That you don’t have?
Why do you argue with me
You never try to understand
How valid my words may be?

I am not perfect
Neither are you.
I accept that.
I just wish that you did
Too.
A quick write for ~Quick-Writers and for myself.

Along with whats going on that I mentioned in my journal there's a general problem my mom and I can't get my dad to see.

He works from 10 AM to 10 PM almost every single day. He works at least two days of over time. He does this because hes so far in debt that he has to do this to pay the bills. What bothers us is that he still spends money he doesn't have! Theres no way to stop him. T.T

So he's never home and doesn't know that my mom and I do alot of stuff to keep our house going. He doesn't know, because he's never there. He never sees what we do.

The hardest part is, since we see each other one day a week, we don't have time to be angry... not like I ever could express myself to him. TT-TT gaaaah

Beautiful poem!=) You showed how you feel really good. And it kinda relates to me since I'm having more and more problems with my mum lately that she just doesn't wanna see or know about.
