Casper Chubs Poet Free verse

Dad

Who says i need to change
I think i already did
It's supposed to be strange
You can't forbid

I will not stand down
I will not redo
i want to look like a clown
without the big shoes

You can intimidate so many 
Convince them what's right
You may have a penny
But i won't go down without a fight

It isn't your way or the highway
It is far from it
Maybe, just once, youd try things my way
But thats what you dont get

Its like you want me to be something im not
Which makes me want to argue
But next to you is my spot
Because, Dad, I love you

Charles Ruble December 19, 2009 at 9:34 PM Love the poem.Had problems,or what I thought was problems,with my dad,then I realised,all that time he was helping me.I found out about two years before he died and really regret that,now I wonder if he really knows how much I did love him,I always loved him.Thx for the moment of rememberance.
