I will pretend this day doesn't exist Just like the person, it demands remembrance But only in the locked ivory pages of my diary The pain I have yet to unpack all come rushing back The memories of you and the present lack I cannot say you were an inspiration I cannot say you taught me how to be a good man I can say that behind my willowed face of pain That I will always be apart of you but not in vain I will take the gifts bestowed and continue to grow Without you and let karma give you the seeds you sowed All poisonous like the tainted water I had to grow in Your toxicity within me so potent Invaded my home unwillingly like a rodent We supposed to be forever and always but your actions rendered you an opponent I was hand-fed rage by your hard hands and I failed to notice.

Happy Father's Day
I will pretend this day doesn't exist Just like the person, it demands remembrance But only in the locked ivory pages of my diary The pain I have yet to unpack all come rushing back The memories of you and the present lack I cannot say you were an inspiration I cannot say you taught me how to be a good man I can say that behind my willowed face of pain That I will always be apart of you but not in vain I will take the gifts bestowed and continue to grow Without you and let karma give you the seeds you sowed All poisonous like the tainted water I had to grow in Your toxicity within me so potent Invaded my home unwillingly like a rodent We supposed to be forever and always but your actions rendered you an opponent I was hand-fed rage by your hard hands and I failed to notice.
