Disappointment Dad

Oh disappointment dad, how you haven't changed.

You are still guttless and horribly deranged.

Faces have aged and we are all wise.

Disappointment dad, you cram yourself with empty lies.

 

Oh disappointment dad, you claim to work so hard.

Forgetting the world, you say you have becomed scarred.

But the ones who are scarred are the ones cleaning your mess.

Selfish and blind, your words of woe fill us with protest.

 

Oh disappointment dad, can't you listen to the world.

Your life is ever so more becoming twirled

I can leave through the door at any moment, and wouldn't care.

Oh disappointment, why don't you show me you still have a pair.

 

Excuses will only get you so far disappointment dad,

And truthfully less I see you, it makes me glad

Maybe one day you won't forget about me,

Maybe one day you'll chnage and be free.

 

However realism is my gifted teacher

And it has taught me about people like you; the preacher.

I can accept you'll always be singleminded

But Disappointment Dad; I refuse become blinded.
