Watch Me Dad
My life is just fine,
non the less
it'd be great to meet you,
to trade a breath.
I'm done waiting,
done thinking "what if"
"what if he took the time to just witness"
"to just witness his son for the first time"
"for the first time,
to just be on your mind."
But it won't happen,
you're living your day
I'd like you to know,
I think of you when I pray
even if I don't know what to say,
he knows our situation
yes, he knows the problem;
keeping us in the invasion
the invasion of dreams,
for all the fatherless kids
for all the kids that like me think "what if"
"what if he's wondering if I still exist"
"if I still exist,
how am I doing at life"
"life, am I a criminal or a good mind"
"a good mind that does what their told"
"does what their told till their 18 years old."
our eyes shed tears,
but I lie to look strong
because I only have her and I,
matthew and mom.
So dad, how is life?
I hear you live in Oklahoma.
I live in texas, yet you can't call?
Don't even know ya!
Adopted?
Yes I was adopted by a MAN and woman
people who's hearts aren't feeble,
and are actually HUMAN.
I seem harsh you say?
NO, harsh is what you did to me.
But I should thank you, it gave me a great life. . . .
YOU LEAVING.
Yeah, every now and then I think of you
I also think of the rumors,
that are actually true.
And every now and then I seem to be sad
but just once it'd be great to be alive and say. . . .
Watch me dad!
iRap, the over all message of your poem made me feel what you were writing. That's the important part of poetry or song. I won't try to correct your mechanics, because somehow it would spoil the intent.
I hope your dad hears it; just as I feel it.
thanks man
i can write poetry all day thats what mines all about messages
iRap. I don't have the skills to correct your mechanics but was very moved by your words.
I feel as if I have been in your place, briefly.
thank you man.
i like your guyses feed back
chiming in. Not qualified to be constructive re technique, but your poem moved me as I read it.
thank you very much. i try hard to put emotion into my work.
