I am not my father

Can you tell me
Why you hate me
Is it because
I remind you of him?

Can you blame me
For being so like him
I am after all
Half of you
And half of him

But you spit nasty words at me
When I come home late
Like he once used to
When I put others before family
Like he once used to

And you think you can make me
Hate him
Hate his ways
Just enough to be less like him
But do you not see
That you only make me
Hate you
A little bit more?
