you were supposed to love me, your daughter.
the one with your blood in her veins.
but you don't, do you?
because if you did, you wouldn't have left.
and don't give me that ******* that it wasn't your choice.
it was. you know it. I know it.
so don't act like you left to me a better life.
you can't make it all better by just coming into my life again.
you can't. So stop trying.
you made your choice. to leave.
no matter what happened that day. it was your ******* choice.
to leave your SIX-YEAR-OLD daughter alone,
with just a mother to love her.
I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I HATE YOU.
you did what you did, knowing that you had a little girl at home just waiting for her daddy to get home so that she can matter to you again.
so that she becomes the most important thing to you again, but she never will. At SIX, she figured out that she'd always be second.
but she didn't care, she just loved to hear her daddy say "I love you" even if it wasn't true or real.
She just wanted a father to love her, like he's supposed to, unconditionally.
no matter what she did, it never worked.

and she is just done trying to make it happen.
sorry for all of this. i just had to get it off my chest.
love, comment, and share

My mother carried me in her arms
When I was just shy of being three
In the palm of her hands, I saw dainty charms
She said it was a gift to the big, blue sea

With me on her hips, she tip-toed out the door
In the early morning hours to be discreet
When we arrived, she quickly walked to the shore
So the crashing waves could tickle her feet

She carefully placed me down on the sand
As she walked deeper into the water
She opened up the palms of her hand
And couldn’t help but think of her precious daughter
  
She took a deep breath and inhaled the fresh air
Like she had forgotten what it was like to breathe  
The cheeky wind tousled with her midnight hair
Smiling wide-eyed, bearing all her teeth

She dropped the trinkets in the ocean
And watched them fall like leaves
I saw her overcome with such emotion
This was the face of sweet relief

Her eyes glowed brighter than before
But there was still a hint of her meekness  
She was unafraid of her new freedom to soar
For the ocean promised to guard her secrets

Dad
As I sit here amongst the trees
Thinking of you and all the happy memories

You are not gone, you are not dead
You will always live on inside my head

So many little adventures to the city and the beach
So many life lessons that you would patiently teach

You inspired my great love of music and dance
You would always say to me, just give it a chance

Practicing free throws and soccer kicks for hours at a time
Always inspiring me to never give up and helping me shine

Holding my hair back the first time I drank too much
Giving advice that I not use alcohol as a crutch

Around you, I did not feel like such a shy introvert
Always making me laugh so I did not hurt

You are the person who made me who I am today
I hope you knew it, and in this I pray
A poem for my Dad on what would have been his 70th birthday.

My princess forever,
My daughter,
To love and cherish ever and ever.
The twinkle in her eyes,
Boosts me with tenderness to sighs.
My little rose,
Loved by all wherever she goes.
Simple and pretty,
Full of fun and witty,
My little piece of music,
With her around life sings to me in lyrics.
Her smiles and hugs,
Are my drugs,
My pain and sorrow away they lug.
My sweet Angel,
My baby girl.

She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen
And I might yell and scream at times but
She is worth every pain I went through
And if I knew that this kind of love existed
Maybe I wouldn’t have broken my own heart so many times
I kept aiming for a target but missed it
But on this round I hit the bullseye
She looks up at me with her eyes open wide
It makes me feel as if I am her entire world
This little bundle...my little girl...
Has entirely changed my life
Finally I might be able to enjoy something
Flowers bloom in the cracks that once engraved my heart
There is not a single part of me I wouldn’t give for her
Through this, a realization is spurred:
Finally I might be able to love myself
Because she is just an extension of me on the outside
Like an ocean tide we will ebb and flow
When I feel low I can stare at her face
And understand that I belong in this place

My daughter
I am so proud of you
Never forget that

My firstborn child is dear to me
She is the wise one among the girls
She cares a lot about her sisters
Always she is worried and cautious
She loves reading and writes prose
I think she will be a writer and proud

The day she was born I was so happy
I felt the sweet feeling of being a dad
But tomorrow morning my joy come to end
When the pediatrician told me a painful fact
One of her nerves had damaged in her neck
During the time when she was given birth
So it caused that she couldn't move
One of her arms, the right one

I went to a corner and cried in silence
This was the most painful moment in life
I called for God, she is a little girl
Take my arm instead, let her have a healthy one

We went to another specialist, a neurologist
She tested and said nerve is damaged but
There are some pulses that make me hope
But we need to wait for three months

I was at work when she called
My wife was, she was behind the line
She shouted with an excited voice
That our baby girl had just moved her arm
