Happy Fathers Day, Daddy
You threw words like bricks
And I bled on my knees cleaning
Your false sense of purity
While you fed off of me
Raping my ears with your declarations of love
But when push comes to shove
They’re only words right?
Your words
An Indian rain dance for my tears
But I’m not crying
So now what?
Thought my eyes would never see
The day you’d apologize for loving me
So why am I holding my breath
Left empty without your dick-tation
To make me feel
And I carried your seed
Within the confines of my mind
Finding it hard to hear the truth
So I simply stopped listening
Aborting your destruction
From my perception exceptin
What was till I found the key
Three simple words to set me free
I
Forgive
You………exhale
Man, that's one of the best poems I've ever read. And forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. I admire and respect you for sharing this.
i wish i could forgive my dad
Wow. This poem really has a twist to it that's most effective. The title even plays with the readers minds. It's amazing how happy the title sounds, but this poem seems anything but as the readers suck in their breaths while reading these raw emotions down the page as though they're catching your tears only to be freed when you decide to forgive him. You must be one incredible woman to be able to forgive him after he's done so much to you and then to freely write about it, post it, and help others by allowing them to read it. God bless you.
i really like this one.....you got a lot of talent...reminds me of my dad.....i haven't beenable to forgive him yet...but i will someday
