Dad

I didn't really want to put this one up, because of the stuff it says...

Real great job you're doing, Dad.

It's funny how you think nothing my brother does,

is ever considered bad.

 

How 'bout the time he tried to touch me?

You weren't there, cuz you didn't care.

You've never cared.

 

What about all the times he's mooned me?

It didn't matter.

Because you didn't see.

 

How about when he and my sister gain up and attack me?

No, you didn't do anything,

Because you thought it was funny.

 

It's nice to know where I stand dad.

You say you love me, but I understand now.

You couldn't care less about me.

Author's Note

I almost feel bad about sharing this with people. Like guilt is slowly creeping in and filling me up.

Don't feel guilty for the way you feel. It's the way you feel, and it's important to let others see the way you truly feel, no matter what. I'm sorry that you and your dad are having issues. Maybe give this poem to him, or rewrite it into a softer version and give it to him. Let him know that it's really bothering you.

Besides my little advice giving up there, this poem was really nice. It clearly expresses your emotions, and with that, expresses you. :)

Don't feel bad about sharing, you need to get it out there, in order to clear it. I think maybe your poem "Hear my Heart" is related now that I read this. That one was your wanting to have a better relationship with your dad. You need to talk with him if you have not. Do what your Hear My Heart said, get close with him, share the Hear My Heart poem and tell him this is what you want between you and him. You will be surprised I think at what will happen if you do that. I know it would touch my heart and I don't know any Father that this wouldn't touch their heart. Do it now Miranda, the longer it goes the more difficult. Us dads are sometimes real block heads and we don't see what is right there in front of us, so you need to hit us with a two by four and say this is what this is Dad.
