this is a poem directed at my "dad"

Michael Lafferty

 

I hate you

You crazy foo’

Get outa my life

‘For I cut u with a knife

Hell u beet your wife

And your baby girl,

I thought I was supposed to mean the world

Now I’m jacked up for life

Wondering why my mom was ever your wife

That six week mirage

What a fairy tail carriage

Drivin ‘cross country

You thought “ehh she won’t dump me”

But she did

And she took your kid

You put her into ten weeks of labor

And now you won’t even pay her

You’re being searched for by the government

You know, the laws won’t be bent

I tried to give you a chance

But you went off in rants

You’re the reason for the fight

On that offal November night

Now that I’m grown

I knew to pick up the phone

Just let me be

And stop harassing me

It’s time to get over yourself

And take my baby picture off of your shelf

Stop talkin’ like you know me

I’m not your damn little trophy

If it were up to me, you’d just rot in jail

I would NEVER raise bail!

So don’t sit there in glee

You didn’t take part in raising me

Because I’ve been raised

To not get lost in a daze

I ain’t gunna play your games

You broke my heart, and I’m still picking up the remains

You don’t deserve to go to heaven

When it happened I was seven

It was the first time I cried myself to sleep

I can’t believe you made me weep

On February 19, 2002, I waited for the call

That was supposed to make my phone ring off the wall

But when the phone rang, it wasn’t you

I felt an emotion I never had before

This feeling came from my core

This was the feeling of hate

Your call came 8 years, 1 month, and 25 days too late

Not like anyone was counting

I clicked ignore

As I laid on the floor

You left a voice mail

It was a complete and utter fail

Word after word

Lie after lie

Why do you keep making me cry?

I can see

You don’t really want me

That was your last chance

You’ll never walk me down the isle

With a big proud smile

I haven’t seen you in quite a while

OR EVER!

You’re a total a*s

Who dropped out of class

He will beat his wife

For the rest of the life

I wish you would die

And end this lifelong lie

I’m your baby girl

And you make me want to hurl

Oh and by the way,

I HATE YOU!

The poem is strong and honest. The words are direct and told a sad and terrible story.
"You didn’t take part in raising me
Because I’ve been raised
To not get lost in a daze
I ain’t gunna play your games"
I like the strong emotions and the powerful ending.
"I’m your baby girl
And you make me want to hurl
Oh and by the way,
I HATE YOU!"
No weakness in this poem. Anger and disappointment drips from every line. Thank you for the excellent poem.

Michael is my "father" but I've never met the man; he's too big of a f*****g c**t to ever use his visitation rights.... I hate his f*****g guts and I can't wait to find out that he is dead!!
