A Poem About My Father

It probably wouldn't be this way
If you were a real feather to me 
Maybe I would trust everyone
Who will ever know 
Because you're at home
and not being a father to me 
So I've decided to move out 
And forget about you
But it's so hard 
Because when they ask
Who's your father
I don't know what to say
Sometimes I say I don't have one
But we all know that I do.
