Daddy Dearest

Folder: 
Angsty Teen Years

Daddy, how’s it feel,

to be a dead-beat?

To leave behind another child?

Three strikes you're out,

Isn't that how it goes?

You call yourself a father?

You say that you're a man?

Is that why you walked out on us?

Because it's funny,

How one day I'm your baby,

And the next I barely exist in your eyes.

I'm drunk with hate,

For this man they say is my father.
