My Dad Has Tears Poem by Pam Fraser

Why Dad are you so sad? I hate to say this, but
I’m feeling kind of glad to see you so sad.
There is one thing you did teach me
Dad, is I knowing the meaning of sadness.

Dad, what is it?
Is it? That, you have intense scent of
failure on you? “As my father“?

As, I try to gather all my thoughts,
I am finally feeling.
The feelings of gladness.
To see you hurt.
Because all I remember,
you making feel me feel like dirt.

I see the tears rolling down your face,
but they can’t erase all
what you have done to me,
I still feel all the pain.

All the suffering you put me though.
When I was little, and as a adult.
As, result of all this
What do you want from me?

I want you to know this
is, I have tried so hard to forgive you
everytime I try to live
You come back in my life
Then, leave.

I am tired of going through
the lies you tell,
and giving me sorrow.

Saying “I want to have a family”.
I ‘ll be back tomorrow.
You don’t show up again for
every couple of years.

Well! Dad, your tears mean nothing
to me because to you my tears
meant nothing to you.
