My Shitty Teen Angst Poetry

For My Father

Every time I reach for you

There's no one there to hold onto

Nothing left for me to miss

I'm letting go, letting go of this

For I am tired of chasing after every false promise

Done with the man I thought I could love, hoped I could miss

But you cut me too deeply, so all I could do

Was grow numb to the pain, to the past, to you

You deserve nothing from me but it's something I need you to know

Even though you've destroyed my yesterday, I'll rebuild my today, and live out my tomorrow

So don't try coming back, I know you'll just leave

Because in you're mind you think I'm still naive

But let me tell you, you killed that childish innocent belief

All those years ago, every time you left, each time I was left with my grief

So here is something for you, my not so dear father

Words of truth, you're no parent, you're nothing but a bother
