You and your father are so close, they say
Close in proximity, yes
But we couldn't be farther apart
And that gap between us keeps growing with each comment, each thoughtless word he speaks
I try to tell him that it's not funny, that it's not okay
But what do my words matter?
I'm only a kid after all
I'm only a child after all
I know nothing in his eyes
Why bother trying to change someone, trying to talk to someone who doesn't see anything wrong?
So close,
In the same occupied space
But we couldn't be farther apart
