Beg to Differ
Father,
I've lost my honor
Don't bother
with the donation
Let them see
my true manifestation
It's in the way
you want me to fall
the honesty in your laugh
guess I'm the sociopath
after all
It's in the way you look at me
when my head is turned
you taught me nothing
and hate me
for what I've learned
you can't solve everything with
a prescription or a pep talk
it's the lack of faith
that lets me know
I'll never live up
Shoot him!
stop him from shooting himself
Drug him!
secure his mental health
Bind him!
let him know what it means
to be free
Strip him down!
his embarassment
for all to see...
