You're the reason why...

Finding out new information about the man you once called daddy...is never easy...

I cower in my bedroom

The screaming I can't bare

Mommy is bleedin

But you just stand there

 

Why won't you help her?

What is wrong with you?

You're suppose to love us

Or was that not even true?

 

You're suppose to be a father.

You're suppose to care.

But you're not even there for us.

You never even dare.

 

All these others you have

Completing your every need

You don't even want me

I'm just a simple seed

 

Never seen my games

Never seen me write

You don't know my talent

You have lost your sight

 

They claim that you're just crazy

But why's that an excuse

We don't have to take this

Your neglect or abuse....

 

You're the reason why  

I cry myself to sleep

Or why I can't trust anyone

Even the one I wish to keep

 

You're the reason why

My sister smokes and slacks

You were never there for her

And these are all facts

 

You're the reason why

My brother has no dad

And I can even see

That is makes him so mad

 

You're the reason why

My mother struggles so

To keep her head above water

Trying not to sink so low

 

You're the reason why

That to eat is such a fight

Enough for all of us

Money becomes so tight

 

But you're also the reason why

We've been able to stay so close

Without you ruining us

We've slowly arose...

I see that it's unedited so idk if you want me to point things out or not..?

This is... really depressing. He had multiple "families"?? Really hard one to read, especially from you. :(

[ForeverNever]

I always love you edits..so please feel free.
Yes, he's a true monster.

Now that I'm re reading... I can't find a single error.... how odd. lol

What a brave poem, for you to share such deepness of your heart. A very powerful poem indeed; it was very moving. I especially like the last verse where you express how the hardship has brought the rest of you so close.

[selkietales]

This is really good and flows well~ I can relate even though the situations are somewhat different and it's so true that the family is closer because of what happens!

[Dark Matters]

Powerful stuff. I can sympathize with this in so many ways. The bond in an abused family is strong even with the abuser. Well done.

I actually think you make a really interesting piint here . . . the only thing an abusive father can do successfully is unite his own wife and children against him. Sad, sick and sorry, but true
