Father's Day

So they say that time

Takes away the pain

But I’m still the same

And they say that I

Will forget you, father

That can’t be true

It’s so hard to forget

Getting worse as the pain goes by

Yeah It’s so hard to forget

What do I do in all of this life?

You tied my hands and feet

You trapped me in a dark room

The pieces of lost love consume me

I want to escape from this pain you caused that chains me down

From my soul that is filled with scars

The cold deep night sky

Is filled with you, you who won’t leave my mind

It wakes me from my sleep

Kiling me again

I want to find the real me that is not you

But the bruises in my heart are too big

I’m trying to erase the nightmares

I’m trying so hard

In this place where I trapped myself

Don’t, don’t

Don’t even reminisce

My aching heart

Hate you, hate you, I hate you now

In order to forget you

I have no choice but to do this

What controls me

Isn’t what lives in me

What can heal me isn’t strong medicine

It’s just love

You’re engraved in my heart like a tattoo

I try to erase you

But I can’t erase you

Lots of anger in this poem, and you have good reason to be angry! Writing will help you so much to get it out. Happy Father's day to you!

Thank you very much!

You brought tears in my eyes..Because I found myself in your poem..I can understand your pain..Just the difference is that you underwent from that pain and i am undergoing that pain..I know that I will never wish him father's day because I hate him..He cause so many injuries to my heart and soul that sometimes I don't understand the reason of my being staying alive..Keep on writing..It will help you overcome from those dark days of your past...

Have you tried talking with your mother about him? Or just beg her to leave him at night?

[Riddhi]

Its not possible..That's the only thing I can tell you now..Maybe one day I will tell you the entire thing..Anyway , I am happy that you understood how I feel...That's so nice of you..

Have you tried confronting him (don't do this if he gets violent and mad easily). Last time I did it when I was about 11, I got pretty badly injured.

[Riddhi]

Anyway , this was your first father's day with your kids?? How are those cute tiny tots??

[송지석 / Ji-Suk]

They're good!

[Riddhi]

I am happy to know that...

[송지석 / Ji-Suk]

We were able to bring them home. They weighed 2 pounds

[Riddhi]

Oh..That's good...You must be feeling too happy to be with them...Your happiness is beyond my imagination..

[송지석 / Ji-Suk]

Although they cry a lot, I love them! I'll give them a childhood I never had

[Riddhi]

Haha...All babies cry..You must be having some sleepless nights..I remember when my cousin was born , he didn't let us sleep because of his continuous crying!! They are lucky to have a dad like you..
