Dark Thoughts
Moving On
Where were you?Â
When you told me,Â
We were a family,Â
Why weren’t you?Â
At my band rehearsal,Â
I only wanted approval,Â
When will you?Â
Be the father I didn’t get,Â
Instead of a drop in a bucket,Â
Do you remember?Â
The day you said that,Â
And left my eye black,Â
How are you?Â
Any different from before,Â
Hatred molten to the core,Â
So now what?Â
I’m suppose to just forgive and forget,Â
I’d rather you live forever with regret.

I felt the emotion running through this Dvon....sad write... ?
Thank you so much! I don’t try to dwell on my past just to live and see beyond it. And hopefully someone else will read this and feel the same.Â
This is such an intimate and beautifully written piece, Dvon. The heavy voice of disapproval from those who are supposed to show us unconditional love can be crippling. What I find admirable about this piece however is that instead of succumbing to the expectation that you “must” forgive any person who makes you feel this way, you choose to put yourself first in a way you might not have done before. I loved reading this poem and hope to read more from you soon!Â

Appreciate your feedback!! I wrote this on Father’s Day when I last spoke to him and it was the last time I would ever trust those who’ve crossed me one too many times. I’ll keep writing as long as people keep hope for another tomorrow.Â
