The Father Who Couldn't Be

Contributed by jonbalser on Thursday, 26th August 2004 @ 09:13:46 PM in AEST
Topic: FamilyPoems

I'm the father that couldn't be
the one that she just couldn't see
it wasn't my fault
i didn't even play a part
i got shut out
and there seems to be
nothing that i can do
the door is locked i can't get in
my blood, my life, my world is gone
i wish there was something i could
do, or someone that i could talk to
Why are things like this,
how do parents put there kids though this
crap
this whole world is upside down
nothing is as it seems,
i only wish i could be the father
that i know i am meant to be

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
