father of the year

a little random poem about my relationship with my father

i remember when i was i kid

i loved all that you did

you never seemed wrong

like you did not belong, on this earth

 

you were my hero

you were who i wanted to be

you were my hero

if only i could have seen

what you would become, to me

just a hindrance

a roadblock in my path

you threw my hopes and dreams

down in the dirt

i wonder if you ever thought

how bad it would hurt

 

fast froward fifteen years

the father i loved is now who i fear

i wont ever be like you

crushing my son like you still do

do you ever wonder why

i stood up and said goodbye

 

so tell me now

do you feel very proud

you lost your own son

do you feel like youve won

i didnt follow my dreams

now i drown in my screams

i hope you know

 

youre no longer my hero

father im sorry

ive never seemed worthy

all i ever wanted is to make you proud

but all i ever did was let you down

i hope that you can hear me

father, im sorry
