PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

What are you like?

Thats what they ask.

I say..

..I can tell you what she was like.

Shes beautiful.

She loved the sunshine.

Running.

Playing.

Kindest kid I know.

Brave.

Very brave.

Loves to dance.

Easily hurt,

and stubborn, just like me.

Thing I was most proud of?

You were kind.

Came from a pit of vipers.

Not an honest, decent or kind one in the whole nest.

And me? I just try really, really, really, hard.

Every day.

I see someone in a tight spot,

No one else giving a shit,

and I think?

What would you want me to do?

Then I do my best.

Got nothing else on..

Drugs, Drink,

Rock and Roll?

Nah.. well, maybe a little drink..

Anyway, the music's been rubbish for at least ten years..

I let you down sometimes.

Its not easy.

I know its not easy for you, too.

..I'm sorry.

I miss you.

I love you.

All I can say is,

always try to do the right thing.

Sometimes, its not easy to know what that is.

You used to show me.

Night.

Dad
