Claw and Bloody Nail
I wear my Fathers temper
Like a belt
Tight about me
A
Fight about me wherever I go
I wear my Father’s second sight
Looking both left and right
So that I might know just exactly
Where you have been
And
Who you’ve seen
And
More importantly
Where all of this is leading to
Suspicion
Oh
The agony
Raw
Claw and bloody nail
Manifests a thousand fold
So
I have been told
A
Coiling boiling paranoia
Slashing
Splashing crimson illusions
All about my inheritance
Colouring my delusions
No matter
They are
Just hand me downs
I wear my Fathers temper all about me
Like a wide hide leather belt
Brass bound buckled and buggered
I wear my Fathers charming smile
All about me like a crocodile
So that you may see me cry
Try
Take the time to watch
And wait…
…Wait
What …
For me to say sorry?
I wear my Fathers temper like a belt

I like your style very much. You've conveyed your reality with your father poetically and clearly. I can really relate to this one. The end is genius. Loved it!
