Dad Poem by Vincent Burkhart

Bottled up inside are the words I never said, the feelings that I hide, and the lines you never read.
You can see it in my eyes, read it on my face. Trapped inside of me is my past that I can't replace.
With memories that linger, and won't go away. Why can't I be happier? Today's a brand-new day.
Yesterday is over, even though the hurting is not over.
Somethings lasts forever. I must cherish what I've got now.
Take my love for granted, for soon my thoughts willl be gone.
All ever wanted was a dad.
The hurt I'm feeling now won't disappear overnight,
but some way, somehow, everything will turn out all right.
No more look back over the past. It wasn't meant to be me and my dad.
So I have to set my feelings free.
F**K YOU DAD.
