Dear Mr.Donner
Dear Mr.Donner
On Father's day a couple years past
I didn't have anymore tears
left for you
this of course
wasn't the case during my younger days
which you already
No
I guess you don't know.
you don't know how on your birthday
I would sit in my closet,doors closed and sing my heart out.
I would bake you a cake and blow out the candles
using your wish
begging God to bring us together,.
and now I wonder,
why you can request to play Games rather than
face facts
David.
I wasn't wanted, but still I was
covered by blood and you bailed
Leaving a much bigger man to
clean up the mess that openly
poured out of the hole you left in
my chest .
so what now,
a stalemate ?
Are we frozen in this uncomfortable silence ?
silence.
for years I have heard nothing from you.
not a letter with a word, nor a call with a voice
NEVER PERSONAL.
we have never had a personal relationship
and I’m the only one who seems to see the problem.
you
you like a black hole sucking the
joy that could have been my eternity
you like a cracked mirror
distorting my forever image
you a bad dream awakened to reality
you.
you just can't seem to see me.
right in your face,
I am
no longer swaddled by the arms of a protector who did not protect
Hear me
My voice now can change in an
octave only adults can perceive.
why don't we grow together?
you father of mine.
I have craved to one day have my
face to face with the Donner.
not to spit on his
but to announce my right’s
I've made it!
without you I have become
women.
see chances come and go and
our time is limited with small spaces in between,
And now as I pour out my soul on
paper I wonder what you will
decide.
But know the consequences to
face are directed by a one way sign
and it would really suck to never have truly had me in your life.
I said it would really suck to never have truly had me in your life.
