Father
My heart is broken
The closer you get to me, the
Further I get from myself.
I think I hate you.
You are selfish, inconsiderate
You've chosen a life away from me
But I've changed in your absence,
Weathered by time apart
From you
From us
Alone, I have grown a shell
Upon my spine
To defend myself
Form a second wave of pain
You have caused the
Metamorphosis of me
I am no longer your
Baby, Baby
I carry armor on my
Spineless back
I inch quietly through the days
DON'T PUSH ME!
Don't call me to go faster
As I crawl back to you
