Why did you go away daddy?
but you were never really here
from the beginning;
your crazy head was never one
which you'd have chosen,
and i often wonder
if my own inflections
run their natural order,
being the girl that was stamped
with madness as her birthright,
look how you went away daddy -
a bipolar youth with slices of complacency
and the feign of normal between the meds
that the shrinks had custom mixed for you,
wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh
daddy daddy i need your attention
wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
dadddy daddy
please dont run off on your foreign binges anymore
wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh
daddy look at me
i'm a sucker for a man who tosses roses,
and offers his piece and a moment's attention
daddy look at what they hung on you -
a bipolar youth
and an altzheimers demise,
somewhere there's a joke between,
and i know behind your curtain call
you've claimed the life this wretched world
never lent you,
daddy
you leave me with a legacy
of fear and madness,  self doubt,
and a love for the dramatic,
as you blessed our city projects home
with its ocean facing view,
and made me love the smell of stinking fish,
when i was christened by the blinking waves
that wanderered through this imagaination,
turning sand and water etchings
that would sweep me in a moment's bittersweetnes,,
to the nirvana in the seque
where the sea and sky collide.

M -Read this earlier - wanted to reply, but work got in the way - blasted responsibilities -

this aches deeply - cries out - and my heart lays upon the floor - what a true expression of soul felt longing here -

Love to you -   Susan

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

Whine away! It's sad that he did not realize that he was leaving a goddess in the making!
