Image for the poem Evil Seed

Evil Seed

Spent my whole life paying for my fathers sin
My face a constant reminder of the evil in him
A mother looks down at her child's eyes
The feeling of love drowned out by despise

Never able to look past him to see what I am worth
My fighting chance stolen by the details of my birth
Half of it is yours, the blood that I bleed
All you know is that I grew from a evil seed

It has always held me down, the weight of his disgrace
I never asked to come to this mysterious place
Maybe I did and I am just not meant to know
Who the hell would buy a ticket to this crazy show?

A loving human being I have proven myself to be
Still I see you but you don't see me
I know your life but you could never know mine
My face is a cell and I am doing hard time

Quit needing your love, this I could never do
I can stop expecting and accept what is true
My very existence disgusts you.
