For anyone who cares
I know a tale about a father
But it wasn't proven true
So, why should I bother?
This was a twisted man
With a two-sided mind
One half loved his kids
The other, not so kind
Of three, there was two girls
which he'd always videotaped
Not playing, nor smiling
But instead being raped
I will not tell any further
I don't want to make you sad
You just needed to know
Not everyone needs a dad
This is the unwritten book
A story no one will find
The tale stitched in my body
and carved into my mind
Author notes
Yes, this is a true story. and yes, it is about me.

Oooh! Very nice! It has good flow, a strong message, and some strong emotion thrown in. It's not overly long, but it has enough length to convey its message well. My sympathies regarding your past.
