Assignment#18:My Poem

I don't know what to do.

You left me dry and cold.

I should have so much hate for you.

I choose not to hate.

I choose to love.

While you were gone,

I sat there feeling useless and unwanted.

I know you had no bad intentions.

It was like you viciously ripped my warm heart out.
It is now oh so cold.

I knew you would be back.
You really hurt me.
Although I could never forgive you,
I will always love you.


Would you like to know why?
Because you are my father!
That is exactly why!

Where were you when I was growing up?
On drugs or in jail.
When I was going on from elementary to middle school?
On drugs or in jail

I hoped that you would be there
to watch me graduate from the
eighth grade, but you weren't!

You don't know me.
I wish you did.
We have no connection.
I'm glad we don't.
You're all about you wife.
So just be happy with her
and your oh so perfect life.
