You Wonder... Poem by Selena Star

You Wonder...

Rating: 3.9


You wonder why we dont wana be around you,
Its because youre drunk all the time

You wonder why we dont speak to you,
Its because you just wana yell at us

You wonder why we dont wana know you,
Its because you dont wana say that were your family

You wonder why we dont say we love you,
Its because you dont act like you love us

You wonder why im telling you this,
Its because you dont understand why

And yet you still wonder

Why we dont wana be around you,
Its because youre drunk all the time

You wonder why we tell you over-and-over again,
Its because you dont listen


(this poem is about my dad-one of these days ill gain the courage
to tell him this, to his face)
