To my Father



Life has its good times,

Also it has bad times.

My sadness comes from you,

A few things that help me forget you are these rhymes.

I’ve seen more than any person should at this point in life,

Like a silhouette I was told what to do,

Not by you but by your mistakes.

I don’t want to live like you, Christ sakes.

You were there when I was small,

Now you’re not even there when I fall.

If you see me it will be because you want to,

I’ve made it through some of my hardest times,

No thanks to you.

When I have kids, I wont restrain them, I wont.

I’ll be there behind their dreams.

Then they’ll grow to be good men and good fathers.

Not like you.

I learned from your mistakes,

Like a silhouette, this I can take.
