"Father"

Standing face to face today
The man who threw me away
Oh all the things I wished to say
Deep emotion within me lay

I see them call u dad
A privilege I never had
I hear u call them by title not name
I hold none, my poverty, my shame
I was your first born
Did I induce such scorn?

We bear a striking resemblance
"Father" and son at first glance
I wear mothers name with care
I am my own man, yes, I noticed your stare
Well u showed me life is not fair
Many a night my dinner was plain air
While my siblings lived luxury care
Yet I've never asked u for naught
My forgiveness could never be bought
I've stood my ground alone
And became this respected  man on my own

I've wondered what you would say
Then again I don't care anyway
