Learn to listen, learn to comprehend. Actions we do which means nothing to you. We're rude, unfilial, hopeless and possibly a failure. Whose future is filled with uncertainty except one conviction. That failure behalfs upon us as we are all too rude for our own good. We never do anything for you, neither small nor big. No please or Thankyou. No good morning or good night. We rebut you at every given opportunity, reply questions you ask with anger and are never appreciative of your hard work. We chide abt everything you do, every tiny bit of help you try to give and find fault with all your teachings. Never believing what you say.
You may never see this, but I hope that one day you'll know, how we really are and who we'll always be.
We rebut because we want you to know, that sometimes you need to listen, to this voice we have in us. We're rude because we feel threatened, by the way you talk to us. We don't appreciate the things you do, because we hope that you'll appreciate us. We know you've done a lot for us and helped us through so much, but we have tried our best to show our appreciation. Only to be rejected in return. We're filial in ways you'll never know, we'll never leave you to perish on your own. Yes your 'friends' are everything now, but when trouble approach, we're the ones who'll stand by you. We get angry when you scold us, when you reprimand us for things we feel had abt. That's when anger ensues. An exchange of harsh words, criticisms and intolerance. In the end, when the situation gets better, we feel the pain it brought upon the family while you seem to go on, as if everything was never your fault. Sometimes the small gestures you show, brings abt heartfelt appreciation. Though unspoken, but nevertheless heartfelt. But please understand, that there's a scar which you left in our hearts. A scar so deep, it's difficult to fade away. It was marked when we were young, so please forgive us when we blame you and never seem to appreciate you. Because the scar reminds us of bad memories, it makes us think abt why we should be kind. And you left a second scar on me. This doesn't concern my siblings. Just a scar you gave to me. The one year I decided to buy your favorite cake for you on father's day, was the one time I lost faith in you. The cake was left in the fridge, with the words 'happy father's day' on it. You knew it was there, we told you so. But when we came back from an overseas trip, the cake was still in e fridge, perfectly untouched. Probably you didn't feel like eating, thought. And then you proved me wrong. I saw the same exact cake beside mine, from the same shop, in e same box. The only difference was, you ate half of it. GONE. and you just left my cake there, ignored. I tried showing my appreciation. I really did. But you rejected it, the one time I wanted to thank you for being my dad. I'm sorry you didn't like it. I really thought you'd appreciate my gesture.

dads. Please know. That your children care. we all know you mean well but sometimes, some secrets we find will reveal this ugly side. And we can't forgive you for what you've done. Please stop tightening the reign, because one day, we'll be tired of it. And that's when nothing you do for us will mean anything. We love you, but it's starting to get too much.
