FATHER TIME

Father issues, volleyball in my hands
He yelling at me, screaming from the stands
In his head, it’s a foolish pride
Stupid issues, making me teary eyed

I’m looking for an “I love you”
A growing pain with no clue
I rarely get sympathy to my relief
When I cry about anything, he told me “not to be weak”

Early Morning, wake up
I’m practicing on day offs
Tough Love, Bottled up
Neat, No Chaser

My father gave me issues
I never can express myself
Cause men can never show feelings
Being sensitive will never help

One day, he’ll believe in me
The next day, he’ll yell at me
The next day, I’m losing the fire in me
The next day, I’m losing me

Early Morning, wake up
I’m practicing on day offs
Tough Love, Bottled up
Neat, No Chaser

I’m sorry I’m a failure
I’m sorry I’m a disappointment
I’m sorry I’m your least favorite son
I’m sorry I’m the worst

I always tried going past the pain, keep overcompensating
A hard memory, a trauma that keeps complicating
And I know I was his worst cause
Because everything he didn’t want was everything I was

the emphasis the repetition provides is really beautiful. days keep passing with no change in them but something cracks a little more inside of you. the pain comes through so well in the very last lines. this must speak on a personal level to some. that can't be done if it is not written well. you did an amazing job adorbs

I really like it, I love the emotion behind each stanza. I’d love to give something to improve on, but I think this is beautiful.

Loved it , It’s a raw and honest piece, carried by steady rhythm and emotional clarity. The repetition strengthens the sense of exhaustion, and the poem captures the weight of seeking approval from someone who can’t give it. The vulnerability is powerful, and the ending lands with a quiet, painful truth.
