I loved them, despite all the pain in my life,
caused by them, their fight, their strife,
despite my constant pleas for them to go away,
I want them to stay, I want them to stay,
Though I felt angry and lashed out,
delivered snide comments filled with doubt,
"I keep saying I hate you but you fill me up with pride,
I love u mom and dad..I don't hate u I lied."
