On What Road You Chose To Take....

Please vote/comment and I will return the favor. Thanks!!!!

I am worried about my Dad,
I am very depressed.
And, it makes me very sad.

His blood pressure is high,
I cry more and more,
Hoping it will only be a lie.

Only if the doctor could have,
Been more nice,
Knowing I would not laugh,
He knew I didn't need lies.

My father is at-risk of having,
A heart-attack, a stroke, or dying,
There's no more laughing,
And, I am left feeling like crying.

Leaving me bitter and depressed,
I feel guilty for his mistake,
Trying to do my very, very best.
On what road he chose to take.

He chooses to drink,
I am very concerned,
Why didn't he think?
So much, I've learned.

I will never drink,
I can't stand the smell,
It sure does stink.

All I need is more hugs.
Something I don't need,
Will always be drugs.

Dad, you can die,
Any minute,
Don't tell me a lie.

I wish for my Dad,
Happiness and peace,
The only father I ever had.

I wanted you to know,
When it's your time to go,
I will still feel guilty for your mistake,
I will always love you though,
On what road you chose to take.

    That's really good. I love it. I can relate to that in some way. Like, you want yous dad "back." Like you're tired of him being this certain way, and you just want the "real" him. It's really difficult to live with. You seem so nice. I feel like I can really trust you. Thanks for all the comments. I'd love to keep in touch with you. I sent you a private message. Take care of yourself!

    Love always.

    Very good. The stanza's are short and to the point. It could use a bit more diverse vocabulary though.
