Array ( [sid] => 46437 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Through My Father's Eyes [time] => 2004-05-06 18:40:56 [hometext] => Any of my friends (including my b/f) who have met my father or not, they will still know what this does to me [bodytext] => There's a woman in me who cries to the world,
Yet the father still sees his little girl.
He thinks there's a child who's taking on life.
But inside is a woman who's holding on tight
To the bit of strength she has left in her heart.
His ignorance and insults are leaving deep scars.
I once cried ot heaven, but they didn't yell back...
Now it's belief that I seem to lack.
He hurts me, and I say nothing in return.
My anger is boiling so strongly, it burns.
Why does he yell at me again and again?
I must be bad if I can't see the end.
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is knowing whatever goes wrong, I get blamed.
He tells me to stand up, then beats me down.
My heart stops beating as I fall to the ground.
Death, it seems, would be my only escape...
Then he says "Luv ya Punkin'", so I guess I'll wait.
I don't understand, my mind's going dark.
He's so loud, it makes the dogs bark.
Maybe he'll learn there's a woman in me...
No. If he's blind, he cannot see. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Spell_Weaver [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

I am so sorry you life is like this. It is very traumatic to have to live like that. I don't know how old you are but there will be a day you will not be under his roof and then maybe things will change between you too. I wish you the best.
