I wonder if I wasn't me



Maybe you would hear my plea?



And maybe you would hang around



Instead of watching as I drown



All I?ve wanted was a father



All you wanted was a son



But you won't have a single one!







Five beautiful girls



Not good enough for you



I hate to hurt your feelings



But this is overdue







I'm not a botched product



Or a mistaken chromosome



And just to make you happy



I'm not willing to atone





So reality check



WE ARE ALIVE



We have feelings



WE BREATH



AND WE THRIVE







Just because we



Aren't what you wanted



Please don't leave us



Discarded and haunted




Author's Notes/Comments: 

Deticated: to my father. Inspired by the song "been a son"-Nirvana. Everytime I hear it I want to write a poem and I finaly have.
