Venting Daddy

Your words shatter within me

   in the eye of your storm

Your eyes see right through me

   filled with malice and harm

Your message is clear

   you wish I were never born

Poison. You're Poison.

I thought for years

   you were the official mind-reader

I thought you were King

   but you were a well-dressed defeater

I thought once you loved me

   you're such a clever deceiver

Poison. You're Poison.

I took second helpings

   of the lies you would feed me

Hoping, by submission,

   you'd eventually need me

But nothing made you care

   and I lost Hope completely

Poison. You're Poison.

I tried to give up

   but they sucked my effort dry

They locked me away

   and I'll bet you never cried

Doesn't matter, you're the same

   whether I live or I die

Poison. You're Poison.

Author's Notes/Comments:

I seem to write a lot about my father. Maybe recent events have caused me to feel the old anger again. Maybe I never really got over the old anger in the first place. Either way, he's definatly had an effect on my life. I know the way NOT to parent, so I can't say it was a total loss. (post script: Much thanks to Tom for providing the, uh, "chorus." worked well, I think)
