the farthest hold so long ago its not for me not for this time its impatient now wanting its out to help its willing to leave me alone and so my father when will you trust me to die for you and make it worth all the pain you suffered and regret this day don’t you, know that you’ve been the lasting joke it was a night much like this night that you refused anything to do with my pain my own refrain you walked your way and never stayed long enough to see me grow and get strong, it wasn’t what you wanted all along , you were always heading away from this place those sacrifices that you could not take made into my own problems that now I’ve released them and its over so my father when will you trust me to die for and give me your pain I’ve suffered long enough now its your turn to live and die for your son that's still here don’t you know you’ve been the wrong joke |

Michael, you have poured your heart in this poem. If I read it right, you are looking for acceptance from someone who doesn't care about anyone, but themselves. And you still put your heart out there to be abused. You are the strong one to be able to try and try again. Many hugs, ME |

long enough to see me grow and get strong, it wasn’t what you wanted all along , you were always heading away from this place those sacrifices that you could not take made into my own problems that now I’ve released them and its over so my father when will you trust me to die for and give me your pain I’ve suffered long enough now its your turn to live and die for your son that's still here don’t you know you’ve been the wrong joke ==================== this is like a poetic condensed version of your touching prose... and like it I am moved by your words... heal in the release Michael, write it out and let it go as much a our hearts ever can let these kinds of ties go... while we may never understand the reasons.. we at some point have to realize it is their shortcomings...NOT anything we are lacking... tho so often we take the burden and pay for sins that are not ours. heal in your own light MG, it shines in every word you write and in the eyes of your own children. We wish ourselves beautiful, |

A saddened response to your words...I understand. Wish I didn't. |

He has missed a great deal of things in your life over the years. But his weakness is now your strength and one day ( I think very soon) when he see's your name on your first book...It will hit him like nothing has ever hit him before. You are a strong person, and that came from you. Marina It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen |
