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

I can't relate but I know my friend can that has a baby now because of her step dad, in fact I have two friends. I f you ask me I think it's sick, very sick, it doesn't even have to be words it can be actions that are givin. Great poet, Five stars.

It"s hard to say I agree with you (though I feel similar) because each poet is very unique but it was very good

i liked it alot. . . good poem very awesome

I think you've written about something that A LOT of people can really relate to. Most people don't have perfect relationships with their fathers (Boys, when you grow up...BE NICE!) And whether it was a really horrible relationship, or just a mildly flawed one, there is something in it for everyone. Well done you! A pat on the back!

very strong ending. for me it brought the idea together and helped me take a second look.

i also think you come off very poised when talking about something difficult.

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

I think that was well written.

I think that sometimes writing helps you say the things it hurts to admit.
