Do You Love Me Dad?

Do you love me dad?
Your love is all I ever wanted
Trying to remain calm
Trying to remain strong
While you slowly destroy me
I’m your eldest child
Your first born
I always thought fathers
Protected their little girls
Instead you mind fucked me
Why do you hate me dad?
Because I don’t understand
What I’ve done wrong
I’ve always tried hard
Picking my own self up
Every time I’d fall
Why don’t you defend me dad?
The past two years
I’ve given all of my best
Only you refuse to acknowledge
Praising and rewarding
Everyone else
Why am I not good enough dad?
Now I’m filed with anger
And bitterness
Of how you broke me down mentally
Making it hard to believe in myself
I’ve hidden my bruises
Keeping them out of site
Isolated myself
Withdrawn From daylight
Do you wish I was never born dad?
You’ve frightened me into silence
Created me enemies
Removed everything I loved
That made me happy
Leaving me with nothing
Or no one
Standing all alone
It’s always been simple for me
To always speak the truth
Why is it so hard for you dad?
But now I have my voice
In the form of poetry
To share to the world
To those who’ve have suffered
The same fate as me
I am a survivor of a fathers cruelty
I will rise up above you
Stronger and harsher
In my quest
And continue writing till
I’m free of my pain
Then I’ll write about my happiness.
Mother loves me.  
Why don’t  you love me dad?
Your love was all I ever wanted
