letter to my father

letter to my father

A Poem by taylorrose
"

dont think im rude towards him but making a point

"

i made you mad many times

i watched you scream

i watched each blow

i watched all the blood 

i know its not me

i know its not my sister

i know its not my mom

i know its not my dead brother

i seen you happy

i seen you mad

i seen you crazy

i seen the monster

i tried to fix it

i tried to make it better

but you wouldnt change

you left me in bruises

you left me with pain

but i made excuses

so you wouldnt get in trouble

so i wouldnt break the family up

but dad im done pretending

im done lieing for you

i want you to be honest

i want you to do the time

please dad i lived in fear long enough

save me from that

let me be free

i know you want me to

Anger can control some people life. My dad held anger and violence close. Took him 55 years to lose the hate. I understand the poem. With age be careful. People who live with violence and anger are hard to change. They must desire the change. Thank you for a excellent poem.

To express such an act of abuse is very hard. i know. You did good. I can only hope that things have not progressed and that you are now out of such a situation. When a Father has such blatant disregard for their own child it is situation that infuriates me as well as others I am sure. I can only lend you my eyes to read, my heart to love, my advice to assist. but it is the strength within you that must push passed this. I lend you all the strength I have to keep you safe my dear Taylor.
