Father

Based on true events in my life.

Father
You were there since the beginning
You were always there for me
Even when you said “ I love you,”
I felt as though something was missing

Father
I always wondered
How come I don’t look like your family?
Every time I was with them
There was no resemblance I could see

Father
You and mother fought so much
These past three years
Leaving me and my little brother to do nothing
But to listen, sadly. Just to hear

Father
You and mother separated
Why does mother hate you?
She said your abusive and a liar
Father, is that true?

Father
Mother told me something about you
She says your not my real father in any way
She says my real father
Lives far, far away

Father
Mother only told me that
Because she said your telling everyone
She said you can’t keep your big mouth shut
Father, this isn’t fun

Father
You’ve shown me your dark side
You’re verbally and emotionally abusive to me
Father, I can keep going to see you anymore
Father, we just don’t agree

Not My Father
I don’t like you anymore
When you call, I wont pick up the phone
I’m going to go on and live a happy life, without you
While you’re going to be
Alone

Wow! I really don't know how to respond. It's a coiled spring just waiting to discharge an exposive amount of emotional kinetic energy. I'm glad you were able to control that emotion to write such a...heartfelt poem. Like what imagination101 wrote, written sadly but beautifully! You are a very talented poet for just wanting to write fiction more!

This was written sadly but beautifully! Your emotions flowed so perfectly with this piece that poem it self couldn't help but flow!
