Just to Let You Know MAG
Your butchering words
In the beginning
Went through my head
As a child who listens
To every word you say
Your constant sarcasm
Your words which
I thought were the truth
The never giving up
Just to let you know, Dad
Those butchering words
To me are now worthless
For I know now
It was only your sickness

Thats amazing bravo hope to hear more
I loved it, it was so true for people who have fathers (or mothers for that matter) who aren't necessarily there for them. One minute they want to act like dad and then the next they don't want that responsibility because they're not there. I am not close to my father at all, he sees me whenever he gets a chance. So this poem was an eye opener plus a reality check that I wasn't the only going through this. Thank you very much

I love how you realized his words about you were more worthless than important and how you made your self better because you realized you better than that.
