Dad

I don't know you
But I want to
You're half me
I wonder how it'd be
If you and Mom would've married
Then my past wouldn't be buried
My friends they all say they
Hate their families and wanna run away
All I can do is appreciate
I don't know how I can hate
Someone I don't know
Bob and Joe?
Sure I love them
But I can't pretend
I'm half you, not them
Please accept me
I'm not asking for anything
Only to be loved
By you
My dad

whoever and wherever you may be
