[hometext] => This is to my father I am so glad he read this and got help for his drinking problem.
[bodytext] => Dad, why do you drink yourself to sleep every night? Why do you try to kill yourself and then deny it later? Maybe your not like me and slice your wrists, but what your doing is far worst. One day when I’m grown up I’ll get a call from mom saying you’re in the hospital needing a new liver. You’re too weak to call me yourself. You can’t seem to sallow your pride. The reason you now need a new liver is because you stupidly decided one day to pick up a beer can and open it. That was the last day of you life. Why do you think your getting stupider? Your killing brain cells you so desperately need to live. I know this sounds bad but I hope the drinking will mess you up so bad that you will NEVER pick up another beer ever again. Then I can say I told you so. I am ashamed to say that you’re my father. I don’t want to be your daughter anymore. I use to hold my head up high and say yes that’s my dad with pride. Now I hang my head down low looking at the ground ashamed saying sadly yes he’s my father. Why do you think I would run away so often? Why do you think I liked the hospital more than home? Why do you think I was looking for a boarding school? All of them were ways to escape from watching my drunken old man asleep in his chair at 9 pm. Most nights after you have fallen asleep I come over to you and lay my ear on your warm chest. Just to make sure you are still breathing.

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. ©
