this is about the pain i suffered because of my biological father throughout my life

I miss you

Daddy,

Where did you go?

On my first

Birthday

My gift from you was

A disappearing act.

I didn't know

That you were a

Magician,

Four years old,

You finally

Reappear.

You cram my brain

With Starry Wars

And Nightmares

Before Christmas.

You fill my belly with

Shell mac-n-cheese

And microwave soft pretzels.

And you inject my heart

With the hope

That this time you will

Stay.

I hate you

Daddy,

Gone again.

You've been practicing

Your magic

Tricks.

Not only can you

Vanish

But you can also

Brainwash

Little girls.

I cry myself to

Sleep

And wonder where it is you've gone

And why you left me

Here

And when you will

Reappear

This time.

I'm seventeen

And here you are

Again.

And when you let me down

I realize that you

Never knew

Magic.

You never were a

Magician.

You were just a

Man

That was

Lost

With a daughtter

That you couldn't

Keep

And a life that you

Hated.

This is the best. The pain is really felt, and I can understand such hurt emotions. Maybe not in the same way, but similarly. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I've checked your page before, but somehow missed this, (speechless,tears,sad violin),genius, Now, I can see through your inspirations and the factors that freed the poet inside you, keep it up

This is incredible good!
I can relate to the tenth power! lol
I really think that you created the mood for this and it just made me a little emotional when i read it.
Keep up the good work.

Wow. You are a gifted poet. I don't know exactly how your father is, and his reasons for disappearing but this poem reminds me of my own. But I love him so much and he's doing great now. :-)
