I'Ll Be The Bigger Man Poem by Diego Adrian Manriquez

I have something to tell you,
And I was waiting all these to tell you because I was afraid,
Afraid that you'd change into the man I expected you to be,
18 years and I haven't said those 3 words to you once,
I'll admit it was a long, cold wait,
You could have had me in your arms like when I was 3,
Rock me to sleep,
But what is a boy without a dad?
I've have grown old enough to realize that you can't stand yourself,
I don't see why you shouldn't hate yourself,
And I hate to break it to you like this but,
You failed as a father, a lover, a husband and as a brother,
You have the face only your mother would love,
With no sense of right or wrong you act like you're 12,
You're pathetic,
I am ashamed to point and call you 'dad',
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree but that tree was burnt to the ground,
So enough with pointing out your flaws,
I am here to accept you,
You're my father but I will never love you.
