"Reminisced Tribulation"

July 17, 2013

I write to fill the void in my heart,

The pain in my soul and because I have a voice

If you look at me you see joy

If you stare deep into my soul there's anger, hurt and pain

Looks can be deceiving is just an understatement

I remember the fights and the feeling in my tummy when it would heighten

I remember being little

My parents' quarrel escalated

My father's secret has been revealed

He was cheating on my mother

Her curiosity beckoned her to meddle through his emails

My sister and I have witnessed every negative affray and affliction

My mom ended up leaving and taking us with her

I remember crying and relinquishing my fathers hand

This situation rendered my family

The countless revolting court battles has concocted my childhood

It's too late, the damages are done, my sister and I are left with broken hearts

The relationship I have with my father has been volatile

He has never really been there

Although, he uses finance and gifts as a bribe

I don't know if he truly cares

I profess apathy but deep down I long for my father

The unconditional love my mother has provided for her daughters should be adequate

But a daughter generally anticipates for a fatherly figure

I write to dispense all of my emotions and feelings manifested in me

Poetry flows through everything

Poetry is definitely one of my saviors

Poetry is life
