“Father,” you claim,
Hardly.
Come and go as you please,
Leave me here assuming your
Supposed role.
Pick ME as your scapegoat!
Forcing the weight of life
Onto my shoulders.
It’s no problem at all,
I’ll care for your child
Because you’re too busy
Fulfilling your own selfish desires.
Living a life that’s forever
Been denied to your children:
A life of happiness,
Security and love.
Because Parental Responsibilities
Are far too much of an inconvenience;
They aren’t listed among your job description,
Aren’t included in your chosen line of work.
Apparently my Contract For Life has expired,
And I’ve already missed the renewal deadline… [comments] => 4 [counter] => 169 [topic] => 63 [informant] => cuddlytiger17 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => hbadday )

I absolutely loved the last two lines. I really could feel the emotions and frustration come out of this piece. It was raw. Great work!

If parents can't fulfill their parential duties, then they shouldn't even have children. Great venting Cuddles. *S* Cynthia

Great write! I can relate myself. They should hang this in social service offices so young people get a clue before doing the deed.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

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. Â©
