You Owe My Dad An Apology

I know now why I'm always mad It's a little deeper than just hating my dad or the beautiful family that I never had The inferno that burns within Fueled by rage and deception Was lit by my own obsession Yearning for your affection begging for your acceptance Following the humiliation of rejection The falling short of expectation I am the product of your creation Weak-minded and lost in duration Thus born my soul of hatred Not long after my heart cringed With madness and revenge The knowledge I must possess Is simply too much to confess So in your interest it would be best to go ahead and put me to rest For it was you that made this mess Yes I know my story is sad But it's the only life I ever had Now do you see why I'm always so mad Yeah maybe I was too hard on my dad
