dad...a word please.

dad...a word please.

A Poem by nigrum homonculus
"

loosely based off my child hood. still very personal

"

Dad sit down we have much to discuss.

If you would turn off the football that would be a plus.

I need to express, get feelings off my chest.

Air out some words, some judgement at best.

 

For 19 years, I’ve heard the word “disgrace”

Exit your mouth…with ironic grace.

What have I done for such resentment?

I am your son. Subdue your temperament.

I came home from school, failing an exam.

Instead of support you shouted, I ran.

Faster than the wind, my tears trailing behind me.

An when I came back, you punched me. knocked me out clean.

But here I am, confessing my disgust.

But I am not your enemy. I am your son.

I am your friend and I need guidance.

I will follow that with the upmost obedience.

 

So stand up  

give me a hug.

I am no longer a disgrace,

Because I can get you off my mind

But not off my face.

An honest write.
No review...
just as a note as a father... and as a son, whose father, and best friend passed long before he should have...

Take any moment you can and make things right... if you can.
Make sure you are always honest and respectful to your child when your time comes.
Respect, love, with lots of understanding. That will be a good start to being a father.

That was heart felt for sure. THese pieces are hard to write then you feel your a*s hanging out for days after you post them. It took some balls to write it and post it. Great job PhilGod
