Father

Christina8

Not supposed to talk to you

and now I know why

The thought of simply talking

to you makes me want to die

 

You condemn me for all my shortcomings

and things that aren't true

Today has been a day that

I will always come to rue.

 

I don't think you were meant

to be a father, I really don't

And I'm never going to speak 

to you again, I really won't

 

You don't imply to your kids

that they're not good enough

all the while being drunk

On you I'm gonna have to be tough

 

I have a wonderful husband and kids

I've lived most of my life without you

I'll forgive you but I won't forget

The horrible things you said that were untrue.

    I totally understand what you are saying. Parents have to understand that their children will feel no greater hurt than the betrayal of the parent abusing them physically or mentally. Your poem is the person shaking their fist and letting the abuser know they are done with their bad behavior. Good to get it off your chest with this poem! I am so happy for you knowing that you have a great life, having done so by becoming strong! Merry Merry Christmas! I bet your household will be a lot of good crazy fun!

      Yes, Christmas is better already! He was an abuser and now I can say for sure he is finally out of my life and I'm much happier. Thank you for all your kind words, dear friend. I really appreciate them!

        Ohhhhhhhhhh CHRIS the pain in this poem made me cry. Because God loves you as His Child he has given you a Lovely Husband and some lovely Friends on MPS to make you understand there are some lovely MEN on this Planet. My DAD is a lovely Man and the only (deserved ) spankings I got were from my MOM ! One day (if I get my skates on !) I hope to be the Best Dad in the World. Thanks for caring and sharing CHRIS ~ You are Wonderful and just the sort of Daughter I would love to have ! Big Spiritual Christmas HUGS ~ TU AMIGO DEL ESPIRITO DE NATIVIDAD ~ BRIAN
