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

Wow, this is really good! Although I have a suportive father, I understand the abuse you feel from sarcasm and vocal abuse. Very good and insightful poem!

I love the word choice and the straight forwardness of this poem. If your Dad can't see how obviously talented you are, there must be something wrong..

It's an okay poem, my only problem is that its channeling and overused subject matter, regardless of whether your father is a jerk or not, it seems that over the past 20-25 years there has become a kind of following of Sylvia Plath, and the real problem is, nobody can channel what Sylvia Plath was doing and writing because firstly, she was an amazing writer, and secondly because she was living in one of the most oppressive time periods for someone of her ambitious magnetude. Generally its an okay poem, but its already been done, and been done better. You seem like a very good writer with an good understanding of the language and how to use it to your favor, my suggestion is make it your own.
