hey guy this one is really personal and is hard for me to share but i trust you guys so be nice about replys please.  "To My Father" You are my father my biological dad How could one person Make me feel so bad You gave me my life And my beautiful name I used to think it was me Now I know its you I should blame Why did you leave? You didn't have to walk away I am your daughter And I still need you everyday Holidays come and go I almost never get a card To show your daughter you care I didn't know could be so hard Have you ever looked back Especially at your wasted life You won't see your oldest daughter Or your very first wife How can you possibly relax And sit back in a seat When you have a child you have abandon And a wife I saw you beat Why you left I will probable never know I just can't believe That you were such a little boy you had to go You had the whole word in your hands But I guess you didn't care Now I know why the say Life isn't always fair by: dana samples [This message has been edited by Dana Samples (edited 04-08-2001).] |

This is very good... it had me gaping at the screen while I read it. Very emotional, very powerful. I love this style of poetry, sort of angry at a person, but talking down to them. It makes you seem very powerful in comparison to the person, who you portray as a "little boy." Very well done! ~Allan The sun was born, so it shall die. ~VNV Nation, "Further" |

"Have you ever looked back Especially at your wasted life You won't see your oldest daughter Or your very first wife" This poem is very powerful. It makes me angry just reading it... good poetry will do that to you. I liked the style a lot, and the rhyme scheme was overall pretty good. I'm sorry that you had to go through this. No one deserves that. Thank you for sharing this emotional poem. --Marie "Hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soul." --Emily Dickinson |

Very sad poem. I hope things get better for you. Took courage for you to share. I liked this a lot.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

The emotion and power in this poem are truly beautiful. This is very well written, thank you so much for sharing it. Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing. |
