okay, most people would think this was about a significant other, but it's actually about my dad ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ your fake smile was too misleading, your worthless promises were too painful. and yet you still stride by my side, tripping me at every oppertunity. you said you'd help me, but only moved me farther away. you said you'd love me, but only broke my heart everyday. i don't need you leading me the wrong way. i'll be my own krutch. everyday, when i wake, it's like playing a chess game i've already lost; each move is useless. i tried to go on without you, but you persuaded and betrayed me, only to scream "Checkmate" in my face. i don't need you to bandage my wounds, you'll only cause more. i don't need you to help me walk, for i'll only stumble. and you don't need to write my words out for me, for you'll only make me look like a fool.
