My dad said he loved me
but it felt like a lie
“why can’t you be normal?”
he’d yell while I’d cry
“your face is too miserable,
your opinions do bore,
your hobbies are useless
you’re more of a chore
you never say thanks
and you’re ridden with lies
and God knows I’m reasonable,
I’m a pretty nice guy”
forgive me for thinking
your respect insincere
and for being the only one
who’s wrath I no longer fear
but it felt like a lie
“why can’t you be normal?”
he’d yell while I’d cry
“your face is too miserable,
your opinions do bore,
your hobbies are useless
you’re more of a chore
you never say thanks
and you’re ridden with lies
and God knows I’m reasonable,
I’m a pretty nice guy”
forgive me for thinking
your respect insincere
and for being the only one
who’s wrath I no longer fear
