    You started of great.

    "You really suck I never wanna turn out like you,
    Just because you think it's right doesn't make it true.
    I accept that you'll never become the father I want you to be,
    But at least I'll know never to treat my kid's like you treated me."

    But that kind of threw me off a bit. Unlike the other stanzas, this one only have four lines. But I think you meant to make it stand out, so I will not suggest anything, but change "wanna".

    To me it looks unprofessional.

    "And if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here and for that I'm glad..."

    Best line of the poem, and I'm glad you chose to end it with that.

    4/5

    Honestly this poem made me cry as well, it is filled with true emotions and a reality. i dont know what was your intension or purpose of this poem, but it reminded me thousands of those kids in third world country who get torture by parents every second. this was so great and im so glad that i read it. it is so sad but a sadness that make me to do something about those torture in this world.
    i read it in a great time as yesterday was the kids world day.
    keep it up

    I thionk many people feel the same way about there fathers, most dad's just don't seem to care as much as mother's do. I'd rather have my dad break my bones then ever lay a hand on my mother. It's so true though, as much as we just want to hate them and never talk to them again, their still our fathers and we love them no matter what they do, we can't control that. great job 5/5

    I am touched by this poem. The title certainly reflects my feelings that words can hurt. Words can also heal. It is all about a balance of the heart soul and mind. The father in this poem in my opinion is powerless over his addiction and must surrender to the spiritual principles of Love to live in the spirit you desire to. Anyway you did a wonderful job by bravely sharing your feelings

  • This is a wonderful piece of work.
    full of emotion...
    and wonderfully indescribable.
    good work :)

    The first line pulled me in, but a few lines in the poem really threw me off. Your word choice in a few of the lines is a bit iffy. This is a touchy poem, it did bring tears to my eyes..a lot of people go through this stuff, so a lot of people will be able to relate to this. One thing I noticed is in the line..

    "And your not setting a good example in anyway." ... 'your' should be 'you're or you are'

    There were a few parts where you sort of jumped around but nothing too serious, all in all you did a pretty good job. Keep it up.

    :]

    Written and felt with such capacity. To be forced to divulge and daringly invest this part of your life is wondrous. I find it fascinating how you can do this for yourself, share your past with the world, and all at once not feel so alone. Like an original witness to sin, such as a failed father, only to discover his revelation by a hundred voices who can relate.
