My Dad

Today is the day that I finally change,
some may find me a little strange.
But you don't even know who I really am
so take all your thoughts and scram.

I went out and go my hair cut
I changed my style,too, somewhat.
Nobody knew why I really did this
at least not until I told my sis.

That night we stayed up and talked
than she said,"I'm really not shocked."
it was at that moment I needed to tell my Dad
all I could hope was he wouldn't be mad.

I talked to my Dad face to face
I felt he would see me as a disgrace.
We talked for quite a while
than he looked at me with a smile.

My Dad and I hugged each other,
and decided not to tell my mother.
The tears stopped rolling down my cheek
but that only lasted for a week.
