Not my father
Telling myself
I am not my father
I am not my father
I am not my father
I am not my father
I am not the sound of my cry that sounds so similar to his
But every soul I touched
I am not my eyes that looked devastatingly like the ones he sees the world in his twisted ways through
I am every hug I've given
I am not all the disorders he passed on to me because he passed them on to me
Every scar that's mine is mine because I made it
I am not the nose that I took from him and see everytime I look at myself
I am every year I shed
I am not the slight accent he gave me
Or the curly hair I'm somewhat known for
I am every world I made even the slightest bit better
My genes cannot boss me around
I am not my father
I am not my father
Anything but my father
Please
I wrote this during science, I did no schoolwork during class today. The words were claustrophobic.
