Life Now, by depressed&distracted Subscribe to rss feed for depressed&distracted

Life now is like a roller coaster.
One minute my parents are
Telling me, "Great Job!"
The next moment they are 
Yelling and screaming at me
Because I do everything
Wrong in their eyes. 
Always being blamed for
Something I didn't do.

Life now is like slavery.
Always being treated like a slave, 
"Do this, do that!"

My parents always talking
About eachother when they
Are alone with me.
Being the child that respects 
My parents, I keep
My mouth shut.

My mom is always telling
Me to stop complaing. 
She always says, 'I don't 
Want to hear it anymore!'
Well you know what Mom?!
I don't want to hear it
Anymore either!

Always being told that
My brother acts the way
He does because I taught
Him to act that way.

My mom will be in the car
With me and my brother,
When he starts to make 
Some annoying little noise. 

Then I politely ask him 
To stop and then he gets 
Mad and starts to talk
About me as if I'm 
Not even there in the car. 

Then I start to cry.
My mom tells me that
I provoke my brother
To yell and say
Mean things to me. 
My mom then tells me to 
Stop crying and acting 
Like a baby.

Its hard when your dad
Takes text messaging off
Your cell because of the bill. 
Its hard because you talk
To these people who are 
All in their 20's and you 
Are 14. 
They are the only ones
Who will listen to you
And who understand
What you are going 
Through because they
Went through the exact
Same thing. 

Then my father asked me,
'What did you talk about
With these people? They don't 
Even know you. The next time
You need to talk about something
That is bothering you,
You come talk to your mother
And I.

I can't talk to you
When the problem is
YOU.

My parents just don't understand.
They just say they do.

My dad grew up in a Christian 
Home. My mom grew up in a 
Jewish home. My mom used to 
Come to church. She doesn't anymore.

They had solid backgrounds. I'm 
Caught in between.
I'm all torn up 
Because I know that if my mom and I die
In a car accident, that I will never see her
Again after death.

Life is now like a roller coaster. 
Doing loops and flips without stopping.

WILL THIS EVER END?
