Hell On Earth
It feels like hell whenever you're around
No one's allowed to make a sound
Go ahead and demand our absent respect
Wherever you are evil sadly abounds
You make living hell on earth
At birth I must have been cursed
Knowing I'm just your property
It the thing that hurts the worst
Why momma stays with you I don't know
My dislike for you only seems to grow
There must be a way to break free
You're not a father but my foe
No one's allowed to make a sound
Go ahead and demand our absent respect
Wherever you are evil sadly abounds
You make living hell on earth
At birth I must have been cursed
Knowing I'm just your property
It the thing that hurts the worst
Why momma stays with you I don't know
My dislike for you only seems to grow
There must be a way to break free
You're not a father but my foe

"not my father, but my foe" Wow, hard-hitting piece!
Hope it's not autobiographical...
Well done and authentic!

I think relationships and internal family dynamics
can be so complex...
It is so interesting how each is like a fingerprint...
Unique in and of itself...
I was actually thinking about this recently...
Sort of like what kind of person I would be... In such a capacity...
Thinking about how others I have known were...
My grandfathers on both sides of the family
were very rough and tough...
I wonder if their dispositions were
part of the zeitgeist of the age...
Tis very complex...
This piece is quite profound...

Dear F,
Profound. Such a harsh and disappointing reality when those we are genetically wired to love cause us only grief. It’s confusing and maddening and awful. Your closing line sums up this kind of relationship just brilliantly. Amazing piece. H🌷
