I do not know you now
My memories are not my own
Manipulation you created
Sinks through my bones
The man who laughed at the smile
Called him akin to Helen of Troy
Who did not know his own child
He does not understand the boy
Not a helpless girl who was stolen
She can not speak for her own
But a free boy who is known
He is not used to being alone
The confidence is overwhelming
The ability to think freely
But all father knows is yelling
He is a new man completely
