I know what it must be like
to deal with me;
but I assure you
it's not as hard
as dealing with being me.
I simultaneously push people away,
keep them at a distance with falsities
designed to prevent incidents
like people actually getting to know the real me
and wish they knew enough to understand
why
why it is that I grew to become this.

and wish they knew enough to understand

why it is that I grew to become this.
I've been thinking a lot about how pathetic these incessant thoughts of wanting a decent father are.
