Dearest Daddy

You scare me sometimes,
How much your remarks hurt,
What you do are crimes,
Against my heart now inert,

You never care,
You watch her succeed,
You watch me with a blank stare,
Tend to her needs,

She is your world,
Not I,
Your affection has unfurled,
I'm shot down in flight,

Do you see me,
When you look my way,
Or just a prodigy,
Not worth the time of day,

You sit alone in that room,
Working,
It smells like you,
The odor lurking,

Do you know who I am,
My name,
Is your love a scam,
To bring yourself to fame,

Yes I am good at things,
Too good,
That does not mean you can pull the strings,
Or should,

I am only thirteen,
And I am the oldest in the family,
I take care of all that you see,
I do it happily,

But you, you ruin it,
Ruin my happiness,
To keep me fit,
But you make me a mess,

I hate you,
Oops, my bad,
I mean I love you,
Dad.
