The Revelation

My daughter was born,

But she wasn’t enough.

She was a girl,

She wouldn’t like the same stuff.

But as she got older,

She was engrossed

In the things

That I liked most

She wasn’t my age

She wasn’t my gender

So when it came to activity

I wouldn’t spend it with her

I was kicked out

When she was a teen

I knew I took her for granted

She just wanted to be seen

But did I change?

Switch up my act?

Of course I didn’t

Just enough to keep track

I got married again

My new wife hated my daughter

But it didn’t matter to me

I was barely her father

So was it a surprise

When she left me alone?

I still yelled at her

That last time on the phone.

And now I am dying

I’ll never be forgiven

What a revelation

As I head to oblivion
