DAD

You said you were my dad,
So I believed you through the years.
Now you tell me the truth,
I just can't believe my ears.

Don't be selfish,
And talk s.h.i.t about my real dad.
He's gone now,
But I'm always gonna be mad.

Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I can't handle this pain.
Everything that was here,
Is now slowly drifting away.

We don't even talk,
It's like I'm not even here.
You ignore me,
And you hide in fear.

I'm always gonna love you,
Even though you lied.
I don't know if I can forgive you,
But I promise I will try.

You raised me since I was born,
Even though no one was here.
Mom was in prison,
John was buisy drinking beer.

He got into some trouble,
And left to visit my mom.
That was the only time I saw him,
And after that he was gone.

Mom straightened up,
But I will never know about John.
She's met someone new,
And now she's moved on.

I'm still looking for him,
But it's so hard.
I've been lied to my whole life,
I'm permanently scarred.
