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

Beautifully inspired. I'd love it if you checked out my poem "Dear Child." I think our poems could relate. Truly, I enjoyed your work.

Your poem has good structure...As far as talking about your dad things may seem bad at one time or another..but they get better eventually...like me i only seen my real dad 6 times my whole life..my ex step dad hit me when i was younger...when i turned sixteen i fought back...we were at eatch others necks...about a month ago he had a stroke and now he has changed alot...god will find a way for you in the end

It takes a lot of courage to write about the way things really are. I totally identify with what you are saying. Keep writing!

life with a father like that, or in my case stepfather, can be really hard. you love them, so you trust that what they are telling you is the truth, but in all actuallity they are ashamed of themselves so they say things to make you ashamed of yourself too. i now hate my stepdad and can't wait until i'm out of that house and on my own. thats life i suppose
