Dear DaddyA Poem by Katerina FelinovaA father's disappointment can be a very powerful tool. -Michael BerginWas it so important? To go and catch a high? To forget about your family And let it all slip by? Was it so important? To always prove your might? To beat the ones you said you loved All just out of spite? Was it so important? To ruin your daughter's life? To break her down, to inflict pain And cause her sleepless nights? "Was it so important?" Do you wonder when you're out? In some dirty scum bags place Popping pills into your mouth? "Was it so important?" I asked with that gun pressed to my head When you cussed and swore and lost your mind And threatened to fill me with lead. "Was it so important?" I screamed into your face To leave behind the bond we had And treat me like a disgrace? It wasn't that important. And there is nothing I can do I tried to love and be a family All that was missing was you.
