A Daughter's Plea

The ego in you makes you an ignorant person you don't wanna be I beg you dad,please listen to me My opinions may give you some sense That I am your daughter and your bestfriend Sometimes I feel so jealous about my dear friends As they are so close to their fathers like needle and threads Please give us a chance to be like them Because God sent you to guide me through in this strange land I may get in to your nerves sometimes But that is part of everyday life There is always a bright light on the other side You taught me that and I will always bear that in mind Please don't swear at me for every little matters Harsh words from you- I am always shattered Your vulgarity makes me scared Pleeeeaaaase ! dad I don't wanna walk away from you forever !

Coming to terms with your father and your own feelings. Keep writing, you will tell yourself much.

Ulamila, your poem resonates with me because my father and I had a similar relationship when I was growing up. We eventually became closer, and he became kinder, when I was in my early 20's. So hang in there :)

Ahh, it s such a lovely poem,Im sure that it will definitely bring a smile on your father s face, you see that parents love their children no matter what happens, some show it, while others don t, but they still love you and their harsh words are always for your betterment, me and my father are bestfriends, he don t have a sibling so we spend our time together, play cards, chess and talk together, he don t talk much to my sister but he loves her most, so good luck and welcome to poetrysoup
