Poem
So you don’t care About your marriage? Don’t care about your children? Don’t care how you hurt them? How your oblivious to your actions That’ve caused a chain reaction. You don’t care of quality time With those you love? You don’t care about trying new things? You don’t care about the tension in the air? So thick you need a pizza cutter to slice it. You got your brain stuck in the past Stuck on endless loop thinking it’s the 50s Your mind’s in black and white While the world outside is full of color. You’re a “Yes Man” that’ll say yes To anything your told You only like to hear What you want to hear go through your ears Too full of wax to process the truth. Your a doormat Letting people walk over you To please them to keep everyone happy But you bring disgust and anger. You go off every day For god knows who knows Leaving a colossal hole In your home. The only thing you bring home Is misery and despair Isolating yourself From the family you made. Sleeping and eating like a bear Ghosting your loved ones Only when they need something You open up for business But you don’t open up The emotional department. Where were you When your wife needed support? Where were you When your children needed comfort? Where were you When we planned family activities? Where were you To take an interest in your children’s hobbies? Where was the shoulder to cry on? Where was the ear to lean onto troubles? Where were you when she needed you? Where were you when your children cried for help? Where was their hero? Where was their Batman To come to their rescue? Nowhere to be seen He has forsaken his own Gotham City. He’s the villain of his family Bailing in their time of need Crocodile tears to deceive Faking it until he makes it. Lazing about in his coffin Like the corpse that he is Brain stuck in loop Self over family Selfishness over selfless Sociopathy over empathy. Where exactly were you, father? Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when I needed a shoulder to cry on? Where were you when I truly needed help? Where are you?
