The difference between a Dad and a Father

March 1st, 2012

You brought me into this world
the reason , I have none…
You told me that you loved me once
way back when I was one….
But as I grew older, I had to ask why?
Why was I your daughter, and not your son?

You ask why might I say this
You ask why I should care….
To this I have just one simple reply
You see Dad, if I was your Son, to
Repeatedly rape me , you would have not dared.

All I ever asked for was
The love you should have gave….
I didn’t ask for fancy material things
Or to be your lifelong slave…..

How could you possibly do this to me….
What ever gave you the right…..
And how could you condemm me…
For standing up to fight…..

I never caused you any trouble….
Except when to my beside you had came…
To take away a part of me…
Hurt me and cause me more shame….

It wasn’t exactly quite enough
When my body , you did take….
But then you taught my brothers
The same ,for goodness sake….

Did it once ever occur to you
That resentment one day would come…
Or someday you would pay for this
If not by all, by some…..

Dad, I tried my best to love you
With all my heart and soul….
You done your best to destroy me
And yes, it’s took it’s toll….

But now that I’m a grown up woman
And I know who’s to blame…..
I ask God for your mercy….
And to take away your shame…

No Dad I will never forget
The things that happened way back when….
But I do know the difference…
Between now and then….

I hope you never have to go through
The torture you put me through…
But I promise I will pray…
The day God throws his book at you.

Love, Your Daughter
