[hometext] => Writing this poem was a very emotional thing for me. It was written for my dad but I wanted to share it with you
[bodytext] => For so many years I told myself that I didn’t need you To be there to guide me through my life and everything I will go through Being daddy’s little girl had become a memory of the past I’ve heard so many people say that good things never seem to last I’ve been told so many times that I have a lot of hurt and anger inside And that I simply can’t admit it because I have too much pride I must admit when I was younger I just couldn’t understand Why you weren’t there for me to lend a helping hand But as I grew older things suddenly became quite clear That sometimes people make mistakes and that you are sorry you weren’t here And it seems the years went by faster than a blink And so when I heard that you were coming into town I honestly didn’t know what to think You have been gone so long that I wasn't sure how I was going to feel But after I spent time with you, I felt so much happiness, it almost felt unreal It had been so long since I had felt what it would be like to have you here And it felt so good to know that if I needed you, you would be near I can’t explain the peace that I finally felt inside And when I came home that night, I laid down on my bed and cried like I have never cried I guess I finally realized how much it really hurt me that you weren’t there And that I was only fooling myself, when I said that I didn’t care For years I have experienced sadness, loneliness, emptiness, and depression I have felt scared, lost, confused, and had so much aggression So unfortunately I turned to drugs to help me numb the pain To help me forget about all the emotion and problems I could never seem to explain It may not have been the answer but it got me through the day And before I knew it, I couldn’t keep it away Ashamed and embarrassed that it has gotten so out of hand But I know that out of everyone, you would understand Just how powerful an addiction can be I feel like each day I am struggling to break free Not a day goes by that the thought of using is not in my head Making me think without it, I can’t get out of bed It seems like everyday this addiction beats me to the ground So I was amazed at how it didn't even pop into my mind when you were around And it felt great to finally break free Of the voices of addiction calling for me I so badly wanted to talk to you about this but didn’t know how So I wrote this poem to tell you that I really wish you were here with me now I Love You Dad [comments] => 2 [counter] => 224 [topic] => 48 [informant] => babylugz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
