To My Father Poem by Jessica Henning

I wanted you to be true
I didnt want no more lies
I wanted to get to kno you
I didnt want no more tears from these eyes

You told me about your life
And how you wanted to change
You sucked up to ur ex wife
And sent money in exchange

I dont kno how many times
I heard ur excuse
Or how many rhymes
i heard About mental abuse

I love you dont get me wrong
And I know you love me too
But after the same old song
I decided that itd be thru


I wanted to kno
Why u didnt call
Or bother to show
Instead made ur children fall

Ur life is hell I get that dad
But o well Look what you could have had
A beautiful little girl
A handsome grown up son
U could have told theworld
You could have been the one

U chose the drugs instead
And sent some money here and there
U put stories in my head
But u didnt really care

My mom is the best there is
and you tore her heart in two
ur children are as good as it gets
does that ever bother you

I dont know what else to say
U just werent what I hoped
Its gonna be another rainy day
And ull be doped
