"father"

i needed you

my mother did too.

yet you didn't bother

to be a father.

you can't hear my anger.

without you, i didn't suffer.

i've done a lot without you.

and my brother has too.

you're not a man.

you're just a coward with nasty hands.

i don't even know your face...

but when you see me grown one day...

that'll be a sour taste.

i'll have my own pay.

all i know is your name.

people always tell me "that's a shame."

i don't need anyone's pity.

i heard you're really shitty.

i may have some of your chromosomes.

but i'm happily in my own zone.

i look more like my mother, not you.

i'll be married off to a more caring man, than you, soon.

you're just a coward man, you see?

your children, you let them off to be.

independence, i got a lot of that.

you stepped all over mother like she was a mat.

nah, she's stronger than that.

i may be your daughter.

but you're not

my

"father."
