DAD PLEASE STOP

I smell the whiskey on your breath.
And you beg for me to put your temper to the test.
You slap me around, and call me names.
Dad, I'm sick of playing these games.

One day it's going to end up getting worse.
It hurts me. How you yell and curse.
Stop it, before it's too late.
Dad, this is not your fate.

You used to care.
You used to be there.
Now you've gone away.
Dad, please stop today.

Bruises and hits.
Temperamental fits.
All is causing me pain.
Dad, stop yelling. I'm not to blame.

You're drinking away what’s left of you.
It's hurting me, and you're hurting me, too.
I've cried. I've begged. What more can I do?
Dad, I've tried to help. And I've tried to still love you.

It's hard, when I'm only neglected.
When all I ever wanted was to be accepted.
I know I'm not perfect, but look at you now.
Dad, you've got to stop this somehow.

You've beaten me down once more.
My heart's broken, and I'm lying on the floor.
How much more of this can I take?
Dad, please. Give me a break.

You brought me into this life.
And you cause me all this strife.
But are you going to take me out of this world, too?
Dad, stop before that comes true.

This is really sad. Great poem and I hope that everything gets better for you. And I really liked the last stanza, it just wrapped up the whole poem so well. Great poem.

Wow I know how you feel, being a child of an abusive parent and all. You discribed my feelings straight to the point.. Great work (Library)

really good write, went through something quite similar. all i can say is things will get better eventually and there is nothing you can do to make him stop. it is impossible to have a relationship of any description with a drinker because when they are actively drinking the only person in their life is then.

you described it perfectly though, down to every last detail. great

stay strong, all the best.
