joanne fenner - You Two

I hope your both happy in your own made up world,
From all the crap insults you hurled.
To make out that we were crazy,
From two parents that were just too lazy.

No parent is perfect, but they admit there not,
You both go round saying what liars you’ve got.
I have to take pills everyday,
Just to keep your horrid ghosts at bay.

So who are you ashamed of now Dad?
And Mum was I really that bad?
You spent all your life correcting me,
I was doing nothing wrong but being who I wanted to be.

There’s nothing now that you could say or do,
You didn’t even try, that chance you blew.
You try and make us look mad,
But all the time you never noticed us sad.

Crying out for love or an unconditional hug,
But we had to always obey a controlling thug.
1 holiday a year, which always ended in tears,
I can’t believe I let you treat me this way for all those years.
