Daddy Dearest

Therapy homework

When I was younger

You were rarely there

We stayed in the same house

You just didn't care

You didn't always speak

you didn't always try

Now I'm sad and angry

Waiting to die

Its not all your fault

Though you should take some blame

I never learned to deal

With sadness and shame

When I didn't understand

You got angry and yelled

I cried inside

Imagine how that felt

I tried so hard

To seek your approval

It never worked out

I was simply delusional

You bitched at me some days

For never coming to you

When I finally did

You turned me away

Why do I bother

You hurt me again and again

People like you are why

I've locked myself away

Now I've become you

It makes me angry....

F**k You!

At least I take it out on me

Unlike you

Who broke a guitar over my mother.....

F**k You!

I'll fight forever

So I'm never an ounce

If that were to happen

I'd kill myself

If I ever have a child

I'll actually take an interest

Love will be more than about money

And my wife more than property

In a sense

I should be thanking you

In your ignorance

You've shown me something

You've shown me pathetic

You've shown me nothing

So I'll continue to fight

Thanks for showing me whats wrong

So I can live right!

learn to see that the people in your life, especially the 'important' people, bring with them their personal history, so that while they are acting in the moment with you, they are also acting out their whole history, and if they haven't done their homework, they pass it on to you...now it's your turn, pass it on or transform it into a higher understanding...your dad is just another guy, and he's scarred
