Goodnight Daddy

When every dinner turn out to be a fight,
When all I did, disappointed you,
I wish you never gave me life.

Isn't...a crime
That I hate... reading?
Am I...unworthy,
A daughter that dishonored you?

When every dinner turn out to be a fight,
When all I did, disappointed you,
I wish you never gave me life.

I know you want me to have the best,
But can't you accept me...for who I am?
Sometimes, I don't want to live,
When I face all facts written on my mirror.

When every dinner turn out to be a fight,
When all I did, disappointed you,
I wish you never gave me life.

Can't we...rekindle our love,
And live together as a family?
Can't you...forgive me?
Even if you can, I can't do it for myself.

...Yesterday albums,
Today torn and lost its color.
...Yesterday memories
Today only appear.. in my dreams...

(Good night, Daddy.)

You can waste a lifetime trying to make amends for 'supposed' sins, real or imagined. If this is a real-life situation for you, I'm sorry indeed
but beating yourself up isn't going to help at all.  Love yourself and be gentle with yourself - you are the child of a very loving, kind and forgiving Father. Be Happy!

I be me BUT who does me be?

Eliza - all will be well with time. Keep writing and try to keep smiling. Chris

p.s. Your pen name begins with "aries"...are you an Aries? I am too!

"Hope" is the thing with feathers-
that perches in the soul....

Eliza;  I'm really sorry you are feeling so down.  I think you are too hard on yourelf.
I remember the picture of you, that was posted for awhile with your poems and I saw a lovely young girl, who looked bright and interesting to know.  Inside yourself that girl is waiting to appear again.

Love
Betty Lou
P. s. Not all of us are lucky enough to get along well with our parents.  With me, it was my mother.

Eliza~
Now don't make me come up there and shake you !

Sometimes your poetry touches a subject soooooooo familiar to us all ... hey, how's about giving that (daddy) a great big *HUG* ... now ... yes, right now !

Just as young people are going through this particular event for the first time in their lives ..... so are parents making that same first-time tour at parenting~
Neither of them always get it right .... but, down the road ... the hearts meet on a path of caring and love !
HONEST INJUN !

After the night I've had, this poem fits perfect for my life.  No one EVER lives up to anyone's expectations.  I know from a life lived trying.  This was very good.  Hit it straight on.  I hope to see more.
