Just to Let You Know MAG

By Anonymous

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

This poem is amazing. A true peice of great literature. It reminds me so much of my own father. I am still trying to get to the point where his words don't hurt me. I would love to see more of your work!
