Father


 

                  Father

 

Nothing I do makes you smile.

It took me quite awhile to realize.

You do not enjoy me around.

 

It is quite sad that you are my dad.

I attempt talk to you, but you make me mad.

It is quite clear you do not enjoy me around.

 

All I want is for you to talk to me.

At this point I give up and realize.

You do not enjoy me around.
