That Name

I'm angry all over again

To a man that has not cater to his child

A barer of bad news

To strikes of a belt

There is no words to describe this pain

To rest the head on a cold shoulder

To be unified only by DNA

The blood that courses through these veins

Wishes the results were false or under another name

How can a name be used

To only be worthless and abused

Its not right to use that name

What name?.....Father, Daddy

This is the name that means so much

But the shallow one that uses it blaspheme by touch

How dare you use that name

When your hand revel in hurt and blood stains

You say I'm your child like a trophy

The world owes you because of me

The life you brought into the world

You said it was paid for like a slave that wears shackled pearls

In this word I tell you nothing

But in reply you say you must respect me

How can a man with no common demeanor

Ask his children to say I love you a little more cleaner

The stains left behind scared the beginning

The amount of forgiveness still left unfinished

Father...used even for the most high

Downgraded to a man with a fallen crown

Others have stood in that name's place

To wait for the original to make a way

That time has past

The rest have moved on

The name is no longer used

Now it is slowly earned

15 years a woman has played that name

Raised the children, took over the fame

So now what can I say about that name

All I can say, there was another

The name Father was replaced with Mother

Sincerely Yours,

Grown Child's Interpretation
