Father, Have I Sinned?

Father,
I am sorry
I am not perfect.

I promise I tried
but I’m selfish...
I want all your attention.

Is that a sin?

Is it a sin to want
your father’s love?

But when you
raise your voice,
lose your temper,
it breaks my heart.

It makes me want to
crawl into a ball
and cry my heart out.

All I wanted was
for you to love me.
