Pulling on a Line

Telling me my failures,


has never helped me.

Because it's all you do.

Every flaw in my actions

are instantly pointed out....

with such venom that

I forget I'm capable of

pleasing you for once.

All the time I'm making you

Angry and mad with me

And if I fix something I did wrong

there's no – thank you, I appreciate it.

It's – It's about time!



For once try to seek

something good in my actions

and instead of find the flaws,

praise me for the good.

Because it's been so long

since I've heard you say;

“I'm proud of you”.
