Why can't you take me seriously?

Why can't you get it?

If I'm really trying my best to show you I want to return my gratitude to you...

If I'm really trying my best to make YOU part of MY life and my adventures...

Why can't you get I want your SERIOUS opinion and companion, why do you STILL make a joke out of all my hardships?

It's been years, YEARS, of trying and trying, of not sleeping nor eating as I should, of working till I literally fall sick, of getting chronic diseases..... YEARSSS.... and for you that's just a mere worry for the time being, then you'll go all "Yeah! that's my daughter! She did that all by herself, and the poor thing isn't even sleeping!", and then.... and then you just forget it all. You just don't care anymore cause it already 'passed'. To you, I'm just a showoff for the family for a while, then you'll just forget (or more like not care) about everything I've done.
You'll ask me how I'm doing with my grades and then tell me not do so bad, even though you don't even check my grades. You've never checked them on your own, you just assume (even though YOU KNOW I've done well since pre-k), that I'm not taking care of my grades because of my "LITTLE FUCKING PROJECTS", as you call them.....

But you know what? At least I'm trying...  At least I AM trying...

Will you finally STOP the jokes when I get you out of my life for the rest of it? Because I mean, you won't even pay attention to my life as it is, but as what you want it to be, and you don't really want me to succeed or something, do you? So why not just get you out?....

Cause if that's the case, then just LET ME KNOW so I'll get you out faster then... please let me know...

Just...... tell me before hand, so I'll stop trying for your sake, and start trying for mine.
