What it was...

By susanne

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've got holes in my head Daddy told me so "holes in my head" and Daddy ought to know Never "worth a tinker's dam" "useless" and "so ugly" I looked up to my daddy's face and wished that he could love me. A "bad seed" I had always been "rotten to the core" and because he couldn't love me it made me love him more. I did my best to please him... to earn his love you see, but as the years went by I grew to know this wasn't going to be. He tried to teach me "lessons" which brought oh - so much pain and I could not get away from him so I learned to play a game. This really wasn't happening This really could not be For Daddy's love their children I saw it on T.V. Written March 2nd, 2002 © on Mar 01 2002 06:31 PM PST   0 • 1
