Please Accept My Apology

by Douglas Goff

I am sorry that I exist, having messed up your perfect world

A conquest you couldn’t resist, child the result of lust unfurled

I am sorry that I exist, born unwanted and rejected 

Tossed aside and yet I persist, your scorn easily detected 

I am sorry that I exist, what did I do that was so bad?

Your love learned through an angry fist, my existence made you so mad

I am sorry that I exist, a jaded memory so sad

Was I something you may have missed, while defiling the crown of dad? 

I am sorry that I exist

Yes. I have daddy issues.

I know is a simple eight syllable pattern but I did add internal and external rhymes.
