Biologically Yours

by latin girl   Apr 5, 2005


You know i tried so hard
To forget that you're my father
My mother would mention you
And i would say I don't ktnow you
You're not my father
I ran away from you
I don't look at you
I can't even sit next to you
Being near you makes my throat close up
Making me choke up with a pain
Building, rising till it falls out
They ask why i stay inside my room
And come out at night
You know how bad it sucks
When people ask me if my father
Lives at home with me
All they see is mom
She's the only one who cares
Why don't you care
You don't know how much
I tried
Just release me from the burden
of being Your child
Shred away my last name
Take away the traces that lead me to you
Leave me nameless with no identity
If you could would you take your blood out of me
Estrada is a name that I've come to hate
Since a little girl
For it's your surname
That name has brought such shame
But my mother is right
I'll always be your child
I can't erase the one thing we share
That I'm biologically yours
So unfair
So unfair
