Back Breaker Poem by Desiree Whitamore

How much do i mean to you?
dad, please, just tell me
what do i need to do
to stop feeling empty?
aren't you supposed to care?
and be filled with all this love?
do you think you're being fair?
and giving me enough?
can't you sense my pain?
and see the edge i'm standing on?
why can't you just change?
once i'm gone, i'm gone.
listen to me dad:
YOU. ARE. LOSING. ME!
and i can't still be mad
because i'm facing reality.
but you've got to face the facts
you haven't been on your game.
and you better watch your back
because things can't stay the same.
