My grades were failing
You grounded me
I was late and missed my curfew
You grounded me
I was drinking
You hit me
I was reaching out for love and positive attention
You ignored me
I graduated from high school
You didn’t attend
I graduated from college . . . not once, twice, but three times
You didn’t attend
I stood by my principles and spoke from my heart
You shunned me
I want to know
When Will You Be Proud of Me?
