A father figure,
always had me looking up.
Oblivious to so many things,
only love filled my cup.
With a sudden turn of events,
I find myself alone,
and forced the apple of knowledge,
of things best left unknown.
When I learn of life and laws,
I suddenly see my flaws
and gaping cracks in the ground,
life has me looking down.
Always the odd one out,
but innocence kept me cozy.
Now I know what life is about,
the days don't go by so easy.
This world is a great place,
if you don't have a heart.
I loved you without holding back,
but you laughed at me from the start.
I want to rest my head,
but I see no one when I look around.
Looking up I think about my daddy,
the question, if he would understand me.
