Fleeting shiny surface, but he still mesmerizes me
I can see my dad’s reflection when I look at him
He makes me want so many things
I wonder how it would feel
To salvage the possibility of all his potential
To untwist all his nonsense into sense
Imagine every outcome
Overthink him into someone he is not
Define myself in the fallacy of him
I let him crush and measure
Weigh down all my thoughts
Outline and ensure I am enough
