In Nomine Patris

 I always wondered what you were thinking.

When you looked into my eyes.

I always felt like I was sinking.

Did you mean to make me cry?

Why were you never there,

when I had my face drowning in my hands?

Why did you never teach me, 

what it was like to be a man?

Was it something that I did or said,

to make you turn away?

Did you know that at times I wished I was dead,

because of the things you would say?

And because I didn't use the hand,

you used to sign your name.

You yelled at me to use the other, 

and made me feel such shame.

But never did I once see,

compassion in your eyes.

So I took that what you gave to me,

and buried it deep inside.
