Father...

Sometimes I hate my dad.

I hate the way he breathes,

I hate the way he talks,

I hate the way he makes me feel like I\'m two feet tall.

 

I hate my dad when he\'s mad,

But I hate when he\'s too nice.

I hate the way he cares,

But I hate more when I\'m who he ignores.

 

I hate my dad because I\'m scared.

I\'m scared to see him through - 

Through the pain hes been through,

Because I know “people have it worse than you”

 

I hate my dad because I am him.

I\'m the version of him he hates;

A coward, sick in the head, full in the heart.

I\'m the version my dad wanted to be,

And he\'s the version of me I never want to be.

 

I hate my dad because I can\'t bring myself to hate.

I hate that I cry -

That I cry about losing him.

I hate that we’re not close,

But he\'s the one I\'ll always miss most.
