Dear Dad
Arreonna Frost May 2016
You left me with an ache,
leaving me in the past, dwelling.
You always made me feel fake,
leaving me locked up inside a shell.

You were always there to make sure I was awake,
leaving me exhausted, yelling.
You always made me feel like a mistake,
leaving me hypnotized inside of a spell.

You left me playing your games,
leaving me always a loser, broke.
You always kept me locked up inside a frame,
leaving me inside all alone to choke.

You were always making me drown,
leaving me stalling, delaying.
You always kept me down,
leaving me more and more than just today.

You left me with a frown,
leaving me in pain, in shame.
You always made me keep the crown,
leaving me to never enjoy the fame.

You were always their joking,
leaving me in pain, beaten.
You always made me choke,
leaving me with anything but a treat.

You left me pleating,
leaving me confused, sad.
You always made me cheat,
leaving me with an impression of bad.

You were always there to make me mad,
leaving me fighting, tight.
You always kept me anything but glad,
leaving me more and more in a fright.

You left me always lacking,
leaving me frightened, fighting.
You always made my world blacken,
leaving me all alone in the night.

Why Now?
Brooke Mar 2019
Why now are you leaving?
Why leave right when I need you most?
Why now are you leaving?
Was it because of me?
Why now are you leaving?
Did I do something wrong?
Why now are you leaving?
I had just regained my balance
Now that you are leaving
I am on the ground again
Without your help how will I ever stand?
Why now are you leaving?
I had just begun to heal
Why now are you leaving?
Was I too broken for you to fix?
Why now are you leaving?
Was I too much to handle?
Why now are you leaving?
Is it really for the best?
Why now are you leaving?
Leaving me alone
Maybe your right
Maybe this is for the best
Maybe, just maybe, it will be good for me
Because now that you are leaving
I will have to pick myself up
Because you are leaving
I will learn to stand alone
Because you are leaving
I will accept the brokenness you couldn’t handle
Because you are leaving
I will learn that I don’t need you to live
Because you are leaving
I will move on, stronger than ever before
