The Pain I Hide

The hot air lifts inside the room
As I await their arrival
I close my eyes wishing this would past
A tear falls down my cheek
‘Pitiful’ my father would think
This life isn't built for me
I am strong, but not meant for this
My father’s right hand man walks in
I brace myself for the board of men
‘This is what your father wanted; he built this for you’
And angry and confused
I knew his words were untrue
My father lost his happiness when my brother past
I was out casted
Though I mourn the loss of my father
A man I conceived to be rather prouder
To be committed to his company, than to his family
A man I never want to be, is he, the father
Who wasn't there for me…
