A better parent

I never left your side,
I was your only child,
Still, you saw me worthless,
I loved you, and you pushed me furthest,
Tried to be a good son,
But to you, I was no one,
You broke me, you caged me,
I was helpless while I begged you to set me free,

Did everything you ever wanted,
In order to make you happy, I got exhausted,
I just asked for love, nothing else I ever wanted,
You beating me and bleeding me was all I granted,
I know, I wasn`t always right, I should be punished,
But I was a child, not a prisoner to be tarnished,
I always cared about you, despite your beatings,
I was just love and peace that I m still seeking,

You hated me, even when I thought I made you proud,
You treated me filth never even to mention my name loud,
I just wanted to make you proud and happy,
But you always thought of me as deceitful and crafty,
You didn`t look at me for years,
Even though I was there for you all these years,
You preferred to have someone else as your kid,
You treated me as if I was some sin,
But now I m free, cuz I don`t have to prove anything in front you,
I just want to be parent lot better than you,
