Theres just so much on my mind right now I can't even explain. Please let me know what you think of this piece. YOUR LIFE OUR WOES: Your words seem slurred and jumbled As if you're not making any sense Eyes red like you're lacking sleep And you always seem to be tense Too bad you can't see yourself When you're in such a state Couldn't you ever come home sober? For that day I'll have to wait Shattered dreams and a broken home It's all you've ever given us The good memories we've shared with you Are replaced with the not so wondrous A father you've never been to us A husband my mother once knew You've spent more time in bars than home With us it's less than a few What happened to our lives together Why did you throw it all away? We'd be there if only you'd say the word But liquor can't comfort you till you're gray. All our savings, every single dime You've squandered away with ease Spent on alcohol throughout the years You couldn't stop even when we begged please There were also the times of violence When you would throw things around Cursing us for no apparent reason As if you picked us up from the dog pound What did we do to deserve this treatment? Our whole lives are filled with dread If only you could feel what we did You'd understand the words I've said But now I've grown up, it's far too late The damage is already done I'll never regain lost childhood days And who knows what my brother will become I've learned from you in a different way Alcohol is my sworn enemy Sorry to say I don't want to be like you To me the most important thing is family. |

From what I’ve gathered from this poem, you’ve chosen a different path from your father, and stuck by your beliefs even through the hardest of times, that shows incredible strength! Enjoyed this one a lot, take care -Lee |
