i pledge allegiance to the fact that i can never get you back to the beautiful face i used to have for which i loved one thought under god i swear id take it all back Every day things slowly change there all about you i cant think for 2 minutes with out coming across you the beach the couch the class the chair even the sight of your beautiful hair i hate you i don't care my heart hurts for you i crave for the times we would just sit there doing nothing as time goes on the feelings lessen i hate you your gone its nothing i pledge allegiance to the fact that I will never get you back

Every great poet has a poem about there dad... So here it goes Dear dad....
Dear mike as someone who wasn't their son would say but hey you may of left but this isn't your typical i hate dad poem because i don't you left but maybe in hindsight we left you she traded you for her “friend” who couldn't keep his lips from the bottle leaving me to mend my own broken heart  “Please just give me one he would say” let me take Alex” You would always make plans just to flake and fake and fake or so i though but your sick what is that and hurt but you would never let out as much of a yelp for help So thanks to you i don't know what a father son picnic is but i also i don't know what its like to wait and wait and wait to play catch in the yard just to have you come home and say your too tired thats the disappointment  my friends know you taught me that beauty in the mind and art is much stronger then the beauty in magazines you taught me that there was no tougher player back in the day then my father you taught me to talk because i spent hours on the phone just so i could stay in touch with you you told me I'm your top cop and you, you were the cream of the crop And i loved you now my mom i couldn't write a poem with out her because she is really what made my father you drove each other out i couldn't sleep all night with out hearing your shouts me and my little brother used to pout all night wondering when it would all end i could look into your eyes dad and tell you were dead you left with out fight because you loved me and i know that even though your not here with me every day no one and i mean no one will ever love me more then my dead beat father so take time to pull out your phone dont open iMessage don't open twitter hit the phone button dial the numbers say hi dad i love you because where ever they are no matter how far no matter how long its been their dreaming of a day where they can simply be your father

They teach me math but I can't divide they teach me science but I couldn't tell you how the cytoplasm keeps the Nucleus safe from whatever blah blah blah
They taught me how to spell yet the spell check is still most commonly used app on my laptop I'm starting to see a bit of a trend now let's all not pretend that the stuff we are learning will ever stick but here's the real trick
Things they don't teach you in school
How to build relationships
They don't teach you how to cope with having a basketball game and a research paper to write And 20 math problems and a social studies article and having 3 girls texting me all in one night.
how to just stare at someone until you see that slight movement of their head and then you quickly bolt your eyes away and then wonder in fear... Did they see me? Don't act like you all don't know what I'm saying
They don't teach you how to deal with your heart stopping while the rest of the world's keeps on beating
Those... Those things are what truly is taught in school how to walk down the hall like you have never met the person who you actually used to spend day after day with yet you still walk by not knowing what they’re thinking although you know inside they are saying things like **** I was stupid to ever give him a chance or wow what a loser I hate him but you pray you pray that they are thinking wow I kinda miss him because you know you miss her too but no matter what happens it will never be you I love it always be f's because you know you failed but it's unfair because you were never truly taught.... I guess that's it right there
Things I learned in school I love you I guess it takes a bad grade to truly learn something and they don't teach you that yet that that is all I have learned.

— The End —
