Harlan Trott Poet Alliteration

Why Dad?

Why Dad?
Why did you have to go
Why did you leave me
Why did you pretend something never happened 
Why did you put me in this situation 
Why did you yell at me
Why did you tell me you still loved my mom
Why did you leave me with trauma 
Why did you lie to me
Why did you overdose twice 
Why did you lie about your pass
Why did you stay
Why did you say what you said
Why did you gaslight me
Why did you strip me of my childhood 
Why did you write poems 
Why did you need me
Why did you go to the mental hospital 
Why did you make me cry
Why did you say my sister is your favorite 
Why did you cause me to write this poem
Why dad?
