In Memory: Father's Day

I have enough trouble
as it is
owning up to what I feel
too ashamed
to share.

If owning up to it
means thinking
that all is forgiven
and hard-heartedness
has melted away
then you are wrong.

And maybe it's just
youth's pride
speaking through me
but I refuse to let you
know how badly I feel
for not being able
to take the accepting route
and fold away pasts.
