In response to the Andy’s Poetry 101 Rehab writing challenge with the word prompt FATHER
When you started to cry
Maybe you will understand one day.
I just wanted to live my life.
But you kept comparing…
You should never do this to your child.
Your heart is big but so is your pride.
When I was leaving you started to cry,
giving me fake promises
and I believed you for a while.
You will never change.
I know you love me by your own way
but you like to keep the feelings deep inside.
Though, when I was leaving you started to cry.
