A Father


A father is supposed to love you
Be with you
Can my father be a father?
Don¨t love me dad, I would be better off that way
Eat away at my soul, but you will never penetrate my heart
For you will never be my father For you bribe not love,
Go away please you are now a stranger that I'm trying to avoid
How do you love?
I don´t love you Anyways
Just let me suffer through it,
I thought A father is supposed to love you.

    Gingerly we walk, 

    This area is dangerous

    We just don’t know this

    Men, staggering, swaying and unsteady

    Scared, I’m scared

    Gotta get out
  • A Cats Dream

    I’m jumping through the streets like a spring! All the other cats in the window look at me as a god. I slink around the fish stand like a mouse and jump up and take a fish. Yum! So good. Suddenly I’m in a jungle!
