145: I’m always telling you what I won’t do/all my limitations...

I’m always telling you what I won’t do

all my limitations

I keep telling you

all the things you do

that make me so angry

When I was young

you were the greatest thing in the world

When I was a teenager

I thought you knew nothing

As a young adult

I thought you and my father

never taught me the things I needed the most

Now, I know what’s important to you

letters, visiting for Christmas, this poem

But I’m not sure how to think of you

I only know how to think of me

I want to say I’m sorry

for not being a perfect son

I know I could have done

so much better
