It’s hard to realize 

I’ve never wanted to admit 

I’m the one who compromised 

To flee the truth I had to split 

 

It’s hard to realize 

That I never knew you 

Even with blood ties 

You were never once true 

 

 Hiding behind the size 

Of unwavering values 

To claim the title of a wise 

Tho hollow and of no use 

 

Giving you a sense of pride 

A need to confort the lack 

You never wanted to fill just hide 

Obsessed you welcomed every crack 

 

You used your father as an excuse 

He gave you the desire to give life 

To give what would heal his abuse 

And enough for an inner strife
