Daddy

How big did you feel each time you pushed me down?
Each time you punched, slapped, or kicked me around?
You know that saying? Every girl looks for her father in a guy?
I�d have to be a masochist remembering all the times you made me cry...
Oh Daddy, could you only love me with your fists?
It must have been a strong love- because you never missed.
You got away with it for so long.. never got in any trouble at all
Raised three children with a warped view of what is normal..
But I�m older now. I won�t put up with your abuse
When the cops saw the bruises you had no excuse
So you�re out of my life now.. you should have never been in it
Your abuse is burnt into my mind- I�ll remember every hit
Now I can look forward to a future of sleepless nights
Waking up in cold sweats, flashes of all the fights
I remember that time you pushed me down a flight of stairs
Had me convinced that nobody would help because nobody really cares
There�s no doubt about it- I�ll remember every time you lost control
Like when you pushed my head against the wall so hard it made a hole
Or all the bruises I had to cover up just to go to school
I can�t believe that my own father could ever be so cruel
It�s all over now- I�m so happy you�re in jail
I�ll make sure you don�t forget me- I�ll still write to you by mail
I�ll send you a card that says �Fuck You� on father�s day
I�m the loving daughter, that always knew just what to say
I really want you to think of me at night when you�re alone in your cell
Think of the fact that when men like you die- they go straight to hell.

Powerful emotion surging through this beautiful piece~ss

This was moving, women look for someone like their father or someone completely opposite of their father, judging from the poem I guess it's safe to say you look for the later.

Wow, powerful. I am so sorry you had to go through this. I felt like I was living through it, just reading the poem. You put powerful emotions into words. Excellent, SnowQueen.

This is beautiful. Well written and such a message. I wish my "Dad" was in jail for all he's done... I can't wait for the day he is...

And as a further comment to this poem and my own comment, I refer you to my poem 'Confessions'.

thank u all so much for the nice things you say. Strangers always seem to be so much kinder than the people I know closely...

I'm so sorry Snow... I still feel your pain but I'm glad your dad isn't around to hurt you anymore. *hugs her* take care, i hope things are (and stay) alright (no such thing as "Happily ever after" but we all have our close encounters) ~Dawn

I still have the scars from my fathers love engraved in my back. This brings back times I had forgotten. Greatly put Snow. I feel this now just as much as I did then.-Kefka

I hate when people say things like "but he's still your father" (brother in my case). So what if they're family. Fuck the bastards.

This is disturbing to read, I hate men like this. I hope that one day you will be healed of these wounds and someone will love you like your father should have. Fuck him and all like him.

Fuck. I have never felt more pain reading a poem. It was like a page torn right out of my childhood. Never give up hope and never stop fighting. Your body my be struck, but it doesn't have to bruise your soul.
