Walking Away
Words to My Father
He called me today
I had no words to say
My anger still brimming from days long gone away
What am I to say
It's you that pushed me away
Never admitting any wrong in anyway
What am I to say
I have no interest if you did or are to change your ways
For your actions from days long gone away
they scorn me as if it were today
Thought I may not like it
I am a reflection of you I am ashamed to say
I fight with myself constantly because I wish not to be you
But my nature I cannot wish away
I am your kin though I wish it was not this way
Though you were not great you sometimes made me happy
At least you never walked away
But I must for I wish to be nothing like you
So then I must walk away.

"Taunting myself with the bitter and entirely useless consolation that an intelligent man cannot seriously become anything, that only a fool can become something.”
F. Dostoevsky
