Father
To wish you a happy fathers day to me it feels like sin,
Why give love, respect and gratitude for something you have not been,
I turned to you my saviour, my creator I did need, I asked no more than I roof from you and perhaps a daily feed,
I watched as your expression changed, your eyes blackened a shade the nights not seen, then sat listened as you reminded me, of how much of a disappointment iv been
You barrad me with your truth, but it translates into a lie, if I could go back 16 years maybe I would have chose for you to die
I needed unconditional and what you offered was not enough, at least I know now not to turn to you if ever life gets tough
You like to play the victim, no one's had a worser life than he, you like the words my father too but a donnar is all I see

Wow, I think you are a talented poet. I have to read my poems a dozen times because I make many typos. I noticed a few in your poem. I loved your poem it is nearly perfect.Ā
Hi Carey, thanks a lot for the compliment! I'm glad you enjoyed it!. It's true, there are many typos and grammar mistakes in my work...I try to get them all but usually find a have missed a few āŗ
Hi Lostwords, are you only 16? If so then in the future I hope you and father can somehow manage to have a better relationship. I didnāt always see eye to eye with my own father when I was young, Ā I do get where you're coming from although I couldn't possibly know all the details.
Great poem though - Syd
Hi Syd, no I'm 31 but the reference to being 16 is because that was my age when my mother passed away. Unfortunately me and my father are just to different and unless I conform to his thought process then he is not prepared to have me in his life. Sad but I guess that's life. Thanks buddy I appreciate your words. I guess you just can't choose your parentsĀ
Aw right that makes more sense to me. It took until I was older and had kids of my own to truely see some of the bad decisions my parent's made, but I wouldn't change them.
