Daddy

By SnowQueen

How big did you feel each time you pushed me down?
Each time you punched, slapped, or kicked me around?
You know that saying? Every girl looks for her father in a guy?
Iï¿½d have to be a masochist remembering all the times you made me cry...
Oh Daddy, could you only love me with your fists?
It must have been a strong love- because you never missed.
You got away with it for so long.. never got in any trouble at all
Raised three children with a warped view of what is normal..
But Iï¿½m older now. I wonï¿½t put up with your abuse
When the cops saw the bruises you had no excuse
So youï¿½re out of my life now.. you should have never been in it
Your abuse is burnt into my mind- Iï¿½ll remember every hit
Now I can look forward to a future of sleepless nights
Waking up in cold sweats, flashes of all the fights
I remember that time you pushed me down a flight of stairs
Had me convinced that nobody would help because nobody really cares
Thereï¿½s no doubt about it- Iï¿½ll remember every time you lost control
Like when you pushed my head against the wall so hard it made a hole
Or all the bruises I had to cover up just to go to school
I canï¿½t believe that my own father could ever be so cruel
Itï¿½s all over now- Iï¿½m so happy youï¿½re in jail
Iï¿½ll make sure you donï¿½t forget me- Iï¿½ll still write to you by mail
Iï¿½ll send you a card that says ï¿½Fuck Youï¿½ on fatherï¿½s day
Iï¿½m the loving daughter, that always knew just what to say
I really want you to think of me at night when youï¿½re alone in your cell
Think of the fact that when men like you die- they go straight to hell.

This was moving, women look for someone like their father or someone completely opposite of their father, judging from the poem I guess it's safe to say you look for the later.

I'm so sorry Snow... I still feel your pain but I'm glad your dad isn't around to hurt you anymore. *hugs her* take care, i hope things are (and stay) alright (no such thing as "Happily ever after" but we all have our close encounters) ~Dawn

Fuck. I have never felt more pain reading a poem. It was like a page torn right out of my childhood. Never give up hope and never stop fighting. Your body my be struck, but it doesn't have to bruise your soul.
