It took me a while But I get it now Why you behave like that with me Why you always look at me With eyes full of anger My only sin in all of this is that My father is also a sinner He left When you were due 22 years later I got his smile and his eyes That you hate the most You look at me But you see him Every day feels like I'm paying for his dues It's like no matter how much I try To show you I'm not him You never want to see ME No matter how much I try And advocate for myself In your eyes I'll always be a criminal It's my fault That I choose him as a dad I wish there was a way to change it Maybe reverse it But it's all done It's tiring But , I won't give up On you That easly Because I love you So Please let me Share your burdens Or at least lessen your baggage Don't be scared I'll never let you down Like he did all those years ago Trust and Give me a chance To show you That I'll never be him I'm only yours No matter what you say or think I'll keep trying To show you that I am ME And I have hope That one day you'll see I'm not like him. ©️Sisanda2025
