Father

"Father isn't the one who creates you...

I always wanted to know
How it felt like having a father
But I never did

The only person that I considered
As my father
Was my biggest brother


He was there for me
Every second of my life
In my tears and smiles

But you didn't

For years I asked myself
How can someone
Reject his own daughter
And not even call on her birthday


And not being there
For me

I always thought that everybody
Deserve a second chance
And I gave it to you


But
Then you ruined it
By preferring money
And not your own daughter

I thank God
That I didn't grow up with you
And now I realize
That I never needed a father

I have a mother...
And that is all what I need
Cause she was there
When I needed her the most
My brother is now dead
But still in my heart

And so are you
But don't think you’re in my heart
Cause your NOT

I wish you luck with your money
And please don't regret
Cause I won't be there
Don't call me when you’re dying
Cause I won't be there

...Father is the one who's there for you all the times when you need him"

    This is so sad and heart breaking!
    Sorry that things never worked out
    for you and your father. Sometimes
    life isn't all that we expect it to
    be. The people that we know and love
    with all of our hearts aren't always
    there to return that love to us. That
    in turn can be very heart breaking and
    have you feeling so lost in this world.

    It takes two to make a relationship work
    and when the two most important people
    in your life can't both be there for you,
    things can really fall apart very quickly.
    Wonderful work putting your thoughts and
    feeling down here! I love this one!

    I see which group you're in, and I will use that to comment on this piece.

    First, I'll not worry about mistakes that may be in this, because this was something that was truly from the pain in your heart. I'm sorry for that. I had a father who loved me very much until the day he died, and I feel it every time I think of him.

    My mother, on the other hand, is still alive and still hurtful and neglectful. Of course, I just turned fifty, and my mother is nearly eighty-three. I know the pain you feel.

    There is only one Father that can give you what you need--you need to forgive. It's the only way you can let go of the pain that has crippled your beautiful heart. I hope you can find it in your heart to gather some understanding that parents are not always perfect. God bless you. Patricia

    Grow with you...Other than that, this fantastic! I could really feel the bitterness in your words. Which is kinda what I needed at the moment! Bitter poetry makes me feel better after I just broke up with someone. Thank you for posting this.

    spoken from the heart. I understand. My dad wasnt there either. It a shame that fathers of today want to leave their family. I think we need father's in family. Great job and I know this has made you a stronger person as it has made me. great poem and kkep writing. Can you give me feedback on my poem Dear mom.
