Not My Father

You left me when I was a child

Without a word or a goodbye

You broke me heart and made me cry

You never cared how much I tried

You came back when I was grown

But you were still a stranger to me

You wanted to be part of my life

But you didn’t deserve to be

You left me again, when I gave you a chance

You said you had other plans

You hurt me more than you can imagine

You proved you were not a man that wanted to examine

You are not my father, you are nothing to me

You have no place in my heart or my memory

You can’t hurt me anymore, I’m free

You can’t take away my dignity

This simply means at the time this was written, I was angry, and wanted my father to know he's not my father. He is, biologically, but the anger comes out here, and then it is processed. I do wish I had a father to love and protect me, but I'll just continue to be that for myself.
