Poem:Drunken Father

Dad, I know that you hurt
But it’s killing me seeing you not putting us first
You abuse and consume
Accuse and conclude
That the reason you drink
Is everybody but you.
I’m traumatized, paralyzed
Superman walked out of my life
I try call, all you do is hide
Drinking your sorrows, to make you feel alive.
Relying on booze …so you can survive?
But then you’re angry, and raging…bursting inside?
Clenching your fists, its robbing you blind
All of the Alcohol consuming your mind.
I’m done with lies
I’m done with goodbyes.
I’m done with watching my dad slowly die.

And while I’ve prayed for you,
and I’ve hoped for you…
I know the only thing I’ll hear from you is
……………..
