Dad Poem by Jasmine Robert

Dad you are not me and I’m not you.
Do you know me?
Do I know you?
Did you even want to know me?
You hurt me but I didn’t want to hurt you.
But you will never change,
Will you!
You were the same just like I remembered you.
Now, I don’t want anything to do with you,
Because I will never understand you.
Your problems are not my problems,
And I don’t trust you.
I am not your little girl anymore.
But all you want me to do is smile for you and pretend like,
Nothings wrong.
How can I when all you do is keep Junior and me away from our family and lie to him and me.
So how can you help me when you can’t even help yourself?
But I am 17 now and I can’t believe your lies now.
Sorry!
I will always be me and you will always be you.
But you have two more chances now,
My little brother and sister.
So I have a little bit of advice for you;
Don’t mess them up too.
If you do I will never forgive you.
