Daughter to Father

A poem that I wrote a while back, about something I wish I could tell my dad.

Memories of screams, fighting and tears

Please tell me why you had to go

and get addicted to beer

You are tearing our family apart 

But now I must ask you

if you had to choose between liquor

and breaking mom and I's hearts

who would you choose?

You made that decision once

I know you chose us

But as time went on

You started f*****g going back to the bars

The money is gone

We never did you wrong

Why couldn't you at least stick to the bong

When I was little and this s**t would go down

I would just get sad

I didn't like to see mommy mad 

but now I understand

and when you're drunk you have no luck of cheering me up

so what the f**k

If I were you I would sure hate screwing up

You may think it's fine but it's really not

that doesn't change the fact though

that I'm your only child 

and My Girl will always be our song 

sincerely, your loving daughter
