Daddy Please Accept Me

by Michelle18   Jul 25, 2007


A young beautiful girl,
Frowns at the world.
She wishes she had a normal home,
Like all of the other little girls.

She looks up at the sky,
And says,"Lord why did it have to be this way?
Why did I have to be born into a home,
With violence everyday?"

She's so tired of this life,
She wants so bad to be free.
To get away from all of the pain,
And be who she wants to be.

She thinks her thoughts are becoming heard,
She says,"maybe this life isnt that bad."
But then reality snaps back into place,
With a slap from her dad.

She screams,"why do i deserve this treatment?
Damn it what have i done?
Its really not my fault,
That you didnt have a son."

Her dad yells,"you were never supposed to be born,
You were a damn mistake."
"Daddy please just accept me,
I'm trying so hard for heaven's sake."

"You'll never fit in,
You just dont belong.
For me to accept you,
Would be completely wrong."

"I cant believe you said that,
I'm your own child."
He said, "well I certainly dont claim you,"
And walked away and smiled.

    Another great poem, 5/5. Although I loved this, I felt that the ending was a little dissapointing...A poem like this needed an extra 'BAM' at the end, you know?

    I loved how you incorporated a conversation into this poem and used 'showing' rather than just 'telling'.

    This is really sad. Its emotional and actually quite harsh how someone could be so cruel to there own child. You have an amazing talent.
    Love Tara-Kay
