Why?

I was told once that it's healthy to express your emotions, so I'm trying.

Strike three,
you're out.
No more chances.
This is goodbye.
You're such a jerk.
You're such a lier.
It's as if you live
just to watch me die.
You enjoy my pain,
gaining energy and joy.
Why?
Don't you love me?
Don't you love your own daughter?

great opening line. great poem

[vido.]

like Juliet Ray added, it seems very close and personal. i think more effective means could heighten your words with a broader vocab. other than that, a great write!

[Juliet Ray]

I can relate.
I haven't seen my dad since I was 6.
6 years with him. 6 years without.
He's an idiot, and If this is your dad ur talking about...he's an idiot too.
He finds amusement in your pain? He really is an idiot then....just saying.
Well-written, I like it.

Your doing a great job letting your feelings out, this was well written!

[KAREN]

Very deep and very sad! It's bad how fathers treat their kids!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

The saddest work.
Its sincere, honest, and terribly powerful.

[Brian W. Hastings]

These words can open a wound in the psyche and make it bleed endlessly. It makes the reader want to reach out to the writer and try to comfort them.
