Just Like YouA Poem by Randi BeatseDon't be like daddy dearest.I do what I can Almost everyday To avoid becoming like you All the alcohol I pass up And the drugs I turn away Because I know One tiny slip up And I’ll be just like you When my anger spikes And I start to raise my voice I have to step back For fear of being like you When life gets rough And the easiest option is running away I have to fight To stand my ground Or I’ll become just like you It’s not easy And most days I want to throw in the towel But I can’t Because every being in me Never wants to be Just like you © 2016 Randi Beatse |
