Jessica Hanna Poet Free verse

To Myself Have I Lied

Do you know
You were my shelter,
Do you know 
You have been my pride

When we had
Nothing to solder,
When it was
Long before I cried.

I felt your work 
As a good father
Making us 
Fine and satisfied

As “daughter”
My job was harder
You went far
While I had to hide.

Now my dear
Don’t treat me tougher
Don’t hit me
With your blaming side

I know you,
Perfect lover;
To myself
Have I ever lied?

Jessica J. Hanna
