    I read this before, but being myself, I was too lazy to comment.

    This poem is excellent. I love the way it flows from walking to death, it is like, day afternoon and then night. It's like how we were once depicted as four legged walkers in the day, 2 in the afternoon and 3 in the night.

    Morning represents the baby years.
    When we were babies we used our hands and our feet,

    Afternoon represents adulthood.
    We are in the prime, we walk on two feet and we stand tall.

    Night represents the elderly.
    We walk on "three" legs, the third leg representing a cane, we are close to death.

    Anyways, awesome poem, I wish I could help you by suggesting things, but this time, I honestly (not just me being lazy) this is an awesome poem.

    Atomic ,
    The emotional tears that fall from my eyes reading this poem is unbelievable ...
    So very sad that this does happen many times in our society .
    Wonderfully written piece that hits my heart like a sledge hammer and hopefully will also hit the hearts of all the parents out there that just don't see the pain they have caused their children ......

    I also have to say I love the format you have chosen to represent this piece .......really makes it stand out..

    Oh my God...i'm actually crying.

    I'M CRYING!!!!!!! *hugs Atomic and bawls into shoulder, watches a ketchup bottle roll out of Atomic's hair*

    What the hell... O___O

    This is the one that really did me in, m'wifey:

    "Did you see me, daddy?

    I cried at my own funeral,
    -I was the only one who attended.-"

    Fathers...pfft...they're only good for helping mummy have us and occasionally handing us their last name.

    I may be bitter, but i'm just in the mood today.

    "Father of Mine" by Everclear is a good little song. Lol.

    Take care, Wifey.

    Aww. thats so sad, i love it. =[

    cuz the 'did you see me daddy' makes it sound so innocent, and then everything inbetween those lines contrasts that.
