My Dad Poem by Mahri L

I miss my dad.
The one who would put my fears to rest. The dad that always put his children first.

I miss my dad.

The dad that used to count my freckles and list the reasons he loved me each time. The supportive and protective dad I came to know and love.

I miss a monster.

A monster that made sure I felt every single penetration. A monster that moaned as I cried out.

I miss a monster.

A monster who took my childhood away. THE Monster parents warn you about.

I miss my dad.
