All i wanted Was a good role model Someone to show me How to clean my room Or to do my laundry What i got was your laziness
All i wanted Was for someone to read to me For someone to protect me And be there for me When my demons come to play What i got is a bigger, stronger demon
All i wanted Was to live with my parents To be happy Even if You too were separated What i got is abandonment issues
I say i want A lot of useless things Like video games, that you deemed more important than me Or movies that you might like, To get your attention But i don't really mean it
Because all i want Is a decent father But what i got Is the bad lessons You left behind with me
So happy ******* fathers day You deadbeat parent, you, And i really hope That you don't feel the pain I'm feeling But if you do Then deal with it
Because hell, I didn't want to be broken All i wanted was you
i wanted to write this on fathers day but that didn't happen. honestly fathers day this year was extra excruciating. my dad just.... he finally just had enough with acting like he wanted to be there i guess. like Ive been trying to reason with him and he always says its my fault and that I'm an adult now and that I'm acting like a child when all i ******* wanted since childhood was a father who truly cared. like... i just wanted a better childhood, and better parents, but that's not what happened, and I'm slowly dealing with that fact. I'm slowly realizing I'm not to blame for my father leaving, but it doesn't take the pain away.
