Father Dearest Father

What am I if I am not a human being,
for am I just your play thing?
The words you told to me when I was young and strong,
did not hold true to you so long.
You said it would make you happy if I touched you like this,
and was it to you that I should have my first kiss?
Why was it you hand that touched my skin so long ago,
was it all apart of massaging your ego?
For years you told me you loved me and I was your little princess,
but today is my chance to tell it all and show the pain I confess.
You never shed a tear when it finally came to a head,
and it was not your mother's eyes you had to dread.
Over and over, how many times did you want me,
when the only thing I wanted was to be free.
Now I am 18 gone from your life only to bare this cross,
and I know it was my innocence that was my loss.
No man I care to want or even have me,
for they don't understand the anger that rages in me.
I am ruined for everyone just because you wanted your way,
but tonight it is you who will pay.
I have pondered over the pain you gave to me,
and it is you who will suffer and this you will see.
I have told them of the years of pain you have inflicted on your child,
and I hope they put you in a cell and let the inmate go wild.
I hold you in contempt and hate you for the father you turned out to be,
so I have to smile knowing the freedom you will never see.
I am tired of baring this cross and telling your lies,
I am only thankful to be alive to see your demise.
Don't say I had it coming or even wanted this,
for father dear father you put your self in this hellish abyss.
