How could a father know so little of his daughter? Just when she began to think he knew her most, he spits such hurtful words that describe nothing about her.

--

I was starting to believe

That you actually knew

Who I am

And why I do what I do.

I was starting to think

You actually cared for me,

Loved me;

Something we could all agree.

I was starting to wonder

How I could ever question you

And your motives for me.

But none of it was even true.

I was starting to question

Myself and what I'm worth

And was looking for your comfort

Until you shoved me to the earth.

I was starting to feel

Like we finally had what we were missing

For all of these years

But I don't know what I was thinking.

I was starting to hope

That you actually understood,

But you just threw it all away

In the words that you threw.

I guess I was wrong.

It was a huge misfire.

How could you, my father,

Ever know his child?
