******* for not listening
For excepting me to know everything
For placing the burden and the blame
On my shoulders and mine alone

******* for telling me every day
That it’s all my fault
That you are some innocent bystander
And how much you hurt
And how much pain you feel
While ignoring mine

******* for yelling at me
Breaking me down day after day
Night after night
For saying I’ll never make it
For saying I don’t try

******* for not showing me the “right way”
Or being there when I needed you
Some role model you are
Try living a life that’s a lie

******* for making me believe
That what you say could be true
For making me doubt myself
And making me feel that my wants and dreams are worthless
Cause when you hear **** enough
You start to think “He has to be right”

Here’s something that I bet you never knew
That long after you die
I’ll be here and I’ll
Still hold myself back

Because all those years back
You said that I
Couldn’t
Wouldn’t
Or Shouldn’t

So I didn’t
******* for that
******* Dad.
