Exceptional 2nd Place Finish Please Accept My Apology by Douglas Goff Write a Poetic Rant contest entry

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 Author Notes Yes. I have daddy issues. I know is a simple eight syllable pattern but I did add internal and external rhymes.
