You May Be My Dad But I Hate You

Why is it always me who feels like this? 
Why is it always me who wishes you weren’t my dad? 
Why is it only me who knows the truth? 
Why is it only me who doesn’t want to know? 

It’s all your fault, I didn’t tell you to have an affair! 
I didn’t ask you to have an affair! 
But then again, I didn’t ask you to be my dad either! 
It’s all your fault I feel the way I do! 

I can’t stand the way you treat us so different, 
I can’t stand the fact that only I know, 
I can’t stand the way they think you’re great, 
I can’t stand the fact that they may never know. 

Why can’t you tell them? 
Is it because you are a coward? 
Or Is it because you are a selfish git? 
Or Is it because you are scared incase they hate you too? 

Don’t expect me to like you, 
Don’t expect me to talk to you, 
Don’t expect to be treated with respect, 
Don’t expect me to love you 

Because I don’t love instead I hate you, 
I wish I never knew you 
I wish I didn’t have to see you ever again 
I wish you were nothing to do with me.
