A Father?

How can you call yourself a dad?

When you threaten me.

When you begrudge paying the minimal money you pay my mum for me.

When you yell at me and call me a selfish cow.

When every time I think you are changing and you deserve a father’s day gift.

You change and make me cry.

Tell me I am worthless.

You are not worthy to be a father.

How can you call yourself my dad?

When you birthday present I spent so long on,

Ends up in my room, replace by a picture of your wives nephew.

When you wish you didn’t have to pay my mum for me.

When you love you youngest so much you give her the world,

Yet me you give insults, threats.

And even still you don’t father your youngest.

When she was in trouble you turned your back on her!

You are not a dad, not a father!

This was more outta anger than anything else. It was awhile ago but its kinda a basis for something im working on> You probally need to know this before you understand the other project.

I love the emotion you put into your works. So msny people look at a boy and wonders where his father has been. And yet, the daughter suffers just as much. If only they would stay... If only they would love... But we will be strong despite the loss. Very well written, dearie. Very well done.
