Array ( [sid] => 102719 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Daddy [time] => 2005-08-05 03:18:52 [hometext] => amazing how much words can hurt.... [bodytext] => Why did you yell?
Was that what you really meant to say?
Do I mean nothing to you?
Am I not worthy of your praise?

Was I a bad son dad?
Did I not make you proud?
Then why did you treat me like *****
Forever cast me behind the shroud

Was I not worth it?
Was I not pleasing to your sight?
I bleed the same as you
Only my eyes have not lost their light

I don’t see a world full of darkness
But I do see a void in my life
Where once there was love
But now only lays strife

The truth is I’m leaving
And I won’t miss this place
My hopes and dreams will fade away
But your words will always lurk in that dark place

They will haunt me in my sleep
Until my dieing day
Forever one last memory
Of how my debts I couldn’t pay

I want to let you know I forgive you
For throwing that part of my life away
I just wish you would have loved me
For the man I am today

man, the mistakes a father can make. a single outburst, a single threat, and we beg mercy, apologize for nothing. i admire that you were able to look aside, something i myself could not accomplish...

"Was I not worth it?
Was I not pleasing to your sight?
I bleed the same as you
Only my eyes have not lost their light"

so true, so very true. was that what they really ment, or were they toying with us?

exquisite writing that is your gift, be blessed, for you are perfection.
