My best friend asked me the other day;
Would you have rather had your parents divorced or have this happen?
It wasn't the first time I asked myself this so I knew my answer.
"I would rather my parents gotten divorced."
She asked me if she thought that would be better for me.
My next response was, "I don't care - even if he just left us. He would still be alive.
Some parts of me believed for years that he was still alive, actually.
That he was just in England or someplace magical.
But I knew that he wasn't at some point - because my father wouldn't just ditch us."
In that moment, I think I saw her a little sad.
Sadness because she knew I was being sincere.

I Will Never Be You
(a fast paced read)
You are not I,
I am not you,
My eyes are brown,
Yours are blue.
You are a failure,
I am strong.
Everything you say is a lie,
Though a sickly sweet song.
You are not I,
I am not you.
I have no children,
You have two.
You never do see them,
But ignore their existence,
Despite their long and hard persistence.
You are not I,
I am not you.
I will never end up as sorry as you.
I will hold my head high,
Till it touches the sky,
As you stay down where you are,
In your deep pit of lies.
For you are not I,
I am not you,
And I will never be
:ike you.
~Mine

I sighed and stared up at my reflection, feeling weak, and even more depressed, but no longer angry. I scowled at the colorless ghost before me. "Freak." I hissed at myself, feeling rather pleased with myself for defying my father once again. "Who's your evil little follower now, father? What good is he to you anymore?"

today I was surprised when I heard my dad shouting, "Let it go! Let it go!" so I figured he'd been listening to my younger sisters& I watching the movie 'Frozen' far too much, but then as I walked down the hall I realized he was in the bathroom.. I'm horrified.

A child looked up at his father and asked; "What is it that makes a man?".
The father replied, "A person who takes responsibility for his family and house, and takes care of them."
Then the child said, "I hope I'll be a man like mum one day...".

Trust
One of the hardest things for me to give
But not for just everyone
Just those who are male
In them
I see one man
The man who was supposed to stay forever
But decided
To abandon his daughter
He seemed to try
He'd send letters
Or gifts
And build my little hopes up
Give a glimmer of excitement
To my otherwise dead and glistening eyes
With a promise
That was always broken
He'd never come
He was her greatest demon
When that little girl grew up
He was still there
He was in the eyes
Of every man or boy
She saw
She felt unworthy
And she was cautious
Because she just knew
That every other man
Would do the same
-Shamira

My father and I,
We didn't get along.
When mother left, we made a silent pact.
I sttay out of your business,
youstay out of mine.
We may share a house,
and I may be your child,
but you have no clue how to handle me,
and I have no clue how to talk to you.
Until now.
We talk.
We care.
And we finally realise,
that we both have felt so bad, not having any connection to each other,
because really,
we do love eachother

BravoSierra's format
RANT:
Okay so, it just hit me that i'm going to be a father.
I know it's going to be hard but i'm ready.
I've mentally prepared myself for this journey.
I love Allie, and Allie loves me. That's all the matters, right?
Ever since the miscarrage, she's been worried sick.
I'm doing my best to help her get through this.
I just hope i'm doing enough for her.
We've been dating for 2 1/2 years now.
I'm ready to start a family.
I know we're young,
but i think this can really work.
I have my mom to support me, plus
her family, and our friends.
I'm so nervous.
I hope i'll be a good father.

It's tragic; you tried to cut yourself in half,
But this isn't magic; in fact it's something much more dark, or more dramatic
Self harm, that's what they call it.
'Cause it just affects you.
It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do,
And if one day you can't rein it in,
And of your last breath you are the only witness,
Then so be it, cause it's your last breath,
And it's nobody else's business.
But, how about your little sister?
I mean, you think your life's been bad,
And by no means am I belittling that,
'Cause I know the troubles you've had
But a teen finding out her big sister chose death over life,
Finding out instead of turning to her with your problems, You turned to a knife
That's a whole lot of pain to deal with,
And a whole lot of damage
And the only role model she has is little more than words engraved in granite.
But as you said before, this just affects you.
It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do.
And if one day you can't rein it in,
And of your last breath you are the only witness,
Then so be it, cause it's your last breath,
And it's nobody else's business.
But then, how about your parents?
God knows they've done all they can to support.
Yeah, you didn't go up in a mansion,
But they gave you the best life they could afford,
And the second that last bit of life tickles out,
and your lungs cease to breath,
They've fail the most important task that they will ever receive.
They failed to give their child a life that's worth living,
And that's a failure as long as they live, of themselves, is unforgiving.
But as you said before, this just affects you.
It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do.
And if one day you can't rein it in,
And of your last breath you are the only witness,
Then so be it, 'cause it's your last breath,
And it's nobody else's business.

In all honesty, i miss my dad. Yeah, i’ve said i don’t like him and hated the shiz he’s done. And i’m furious that he left without saying one word. But he’s still my father and always going to be. I just hope he’s okay.

Hi. I'm Sha. Pronounce it whatever way you'd like to.
I'll finally be honest on here. I try to live my life with smiles and laughter so I can forget about the hurt.
My situation may not seem like much to others, but we all have to face our own demons.
Mine is that my father left when I was 1 and a half, and I don't remember him.
He'll randomly send a card every 4 years or so, saying "I love you" and "see you soon", but I never see him.
It's like I'm not worth anything to him and I've had horrible feelings of worthlessness throughout my whole life.
With this said, I feel as though I'm a strong person, to have struggled through it this long.
But now, I need help, and I'm seeking it. It's eaten me up for too long...

when I was born
he was a little more than disappointed.
wanted a boy more than anything,
but he settled with a girl, cradling me in his arms as he said,
"just remember, I'll always be smarter than you."
he swallowed his disappointment as I
grew old enough to toddle around the house.
played Disney princesses with me,
never complaining when I made him be the villain, or when
he had better things to do,
like paying bills or taking care of my baby brothers.
when I was five, I skipped off to school,
smiling as I waved goodbye to him from the big metal doors.
I was always top of my class, but that was
somehow never good enough for him.
"just remember, I'll always be smarter than you."
as I grew up, his disappointment became
more obvious, though he tried to hide it.
he worked late, and spent his nights coaching
baseball and soccer, or playing video games with
my brothers, never bothering to come to parent observation night at dance,
and falling asleep during ballet recitals.
when I was fourteen, I fell in love (with a girl, mind you),
dizzy and in too deep to realize my mistakes.
his disappointment turned into utter disgust
as he browsed through every message I had ever sent her.
"just remember, I'll always be smarter than you."
now those tiny bumps and bruises of my childhood
have morphed into ugly red scars.
I sob, scream, cry, defy.
he puts his head in his hands,
wondering where he went wrong.

Confession 22
I never believe anyone when they say I'm beautiful,
part of it is because of what my father did to me.

Okay, I get that being single
sucks a.ss for a lot of people,
but b.itching about being single
just because of Valentine's Day?
Are you serious? I've said it before
but looks like I need to say it again;
some people don't have a mother
for mother's day, and some people
don't have a father for father's
day. Yet, you're complaining all
because you don't have a bf/gf
for some stupid, random "holiday"?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?You have
your whole life to get a significant
other, not having a parent is kind
of a permanent thing, so get the
f.uck over yourself.
