I can't excuse myself with an inadequate explanation like

"I have daddy issues"

Yes, he has many, many issues, but he has passed

Them along to me, I have inherited them

They are no longer just daddy issues

They have become my issues

Problems for me to deal with

Non-grammatical errors for me to edit

Daddy issues?

My issues

Now, I'm walking in his shoes

Showing off some of his traits

Doing things I swore I'd never do or say

Those parts of me I've got to change

The rest of me can stay the same

I won't let my daddy issues

Botch up others' lives, make them beg for a tissue

I refuse to be like him

I refuse to let "daddy issues" win
