Addiction Part Two
**This poem is too long and will not fit so I had to break it into two parts**
When I speak my mind, and tell you how I feel, you get defensive.
Claiming my facebook, sudoku, and everything I do online is a game.
You don’t even know what I do online dad.
You have no clue that I write.
You have no clue that my one and only passion in life is writing.
You have no clue what I write about.
You don’t know who my friends are,
Or even that I have these emotions.
You know nothing about me.
And no, I’m not blaming that on your game.
Cuase this started long before your game,
But what I am saying is that your game just extended our distance.
I bet you have never even thought that I wrote poetry, did you?
I bet you have never even thought that I have such strong emotions about things, to be able
to write them down.
I bet you think everything between us is just peachy.
Well I got news for you!
Most of these emotions I have, the bad ones at least, are because of you!
I hate you! I’ve hated you for years.
We used to be so close,
I remember when I was little we used to play all day long.
But now,
now I have to say hi at least 5 times when I get home before you’ll even acknowledge that
I’m there.
Why can’t you see that I miss you?
Why can’t you see that I love you?
Why can’t you see that I’m here.
I’m waiting for you to realize that this problem you have is putting a wedge between us,
A wedge that I’m not sure will ever come loose.
Why can’t you realize that you have an addiction?
An addiction that’s killing our family?
