I know I am not the best that I can be,
I know I am rude and mean,
I honestly try hard to do whats right,
but I somehow end up in the dark,
not the light,
but you have to remember i am human,
I am 17 almost 18,
and I have not been able to enjoy my teenage life like every one else gets to,
I know you want me to do whats right,
but its hard when you always want to fight,
i want to have fun,
not sit around the house with you all the time,
i wish you could understand this but i doubt you ever will,
so lets just make a truce cause I have to much to tell,
i will always be your daughter,
i make that very clear,
i hope you can understand that,
but I don’t know if you can hear.
