By What Definition?

You say you're my father
but you by no means act like one
You don't know what I deal with
You don't know what I do with my day
You never even know where I am
At this point you don't really have a right to know
You come up with moments
that you try to be my father
and I just look at you in disgust
You need to be there from the beginning
to know where I am now
You're not even around enough
to know I have a boyfriend
So biologic mean nothing
You have to at least be there to be a father
