Letter To My Father

To My Father

It is not true that I hate you

But it is true that I feel pain

I will always love my father

But I do tremble by your name.

I can not change the past

Neither can you

All we have is now

And this will do.

I don't know how it feels to be you

But I could guess it's a strain

I doubt that you understand me

And it's hard to get along that way.

You aren't always my first choice

Because I have flashbacks of your scornful voice

But I wish things were different

For no daughter wants to live like this.

I live in harmony with my mother

Cause to you, I always felt like a bother.

I always question how you really feel

Cause from a daughter's point of view, I'm a big deal.

Sometimes you make me so mad that I could spit

My mind full of rage, and this house, I want to quit.

But when you are sad, I do feel your pain

It is hard for me to avoid your rain.

You perplex me when you do things as such

Because you shouldn't act like you do if you love us so much.

But we all have our demons that we have to deal with

I just hope you can get over them quick.

I hope we can get it right before it's too late.

A chance to get to know my father.

A chance to make things okay.
