Dear Daddy (2)

A Poem by RainbowFlames

story of my dad

To you, my brother was perfect
A joy
He had no flaw
Even when he would destroy
Then a problem came
And it went away all the same
You divorced your wife
Found my mother
Then started a new life
Things were good
Everything went as it should
You were not married
You had no binds
Everything was perfect
Everything was fine
Until you had me
Just like that your freedom wasn’t free
At first you loved me so much
But someone introduced you to god
You said he had the touch
As for me I wasn’t as such
For the next many years
I shed so many tears
You were scary and obsessed
You left me fatherless
And mommy depressed
She still misses you
I hope you know
Even though you don’t even say “hello”
I miss my daddy, he isn’t the same
I was born a “heathen”
But who’s to blame?
Who could have predicted what you became?
But why did you do it?
Was it the shame game?
So many questions I’ll never know the answers to
I’m sorry daddy
For being the result of your taboo
We never thought and never knew
That your rebirth was so over due
(according to you)
Too bad never really knew you
My father
My daddy
My dad
I think I hear the church bells ringing
There’s your cue
Dear Daddy
