Fathers ignorance

by Cameron Olson   Sep 29, 2008


You brag of my past
And what of time now?
I'm only a failure
In your eyes alone
Trying so hard
To get rid of my pain
The pain you don't see
The pain I ignore
It builds up inside
A ticking time bomb, I am
I try so very hard
To do what is best
But what is best
Is never good enough
You ignore that I am sad
You ignore that I'm struggling
You ignore how hard I try
You say Im the smartest you've met
But who have you seen or met or compared?
Now, I'm not the person You invisioned
I'm not successful
I'm not smart
I don't see my future as wealthy off my smarts
To you Im a loser trying to make a life for himself
