Fist clenched it’s hard to write
I wanna swing with all my might
And fill this room with bloody rain
And let someone else feel my pain 
Try and get a grip try an relax 
And get my mind back on track 
Write it down express emotion 
My pen can be my anger potion 
Why’d you hurt me? Why’d you lie? 
Why’d you leave me dad? Why’d you die?
There’s all these questions I wanna ask 
Why’d I have to grow up so fast?
And be a man while still a boy?
And use guns and women as my play toys?
You were supposed to be there supposed to guide me 
But instead I taught myself an grew up wildly 
Mom was busy taking care of us 
But government assistance wasn’t enough
So I went out an did my dirt 
Sold coke and weed as fulltime work 
Mom didn’t like it so I left 
And kept on doing what I knew best 
I did take after you though dad 
Put dope in my nose and beer in my hand
Oh yeah by the way I have a little girl 
She’s three now and my whole world 
Her name is Asia she the cutest thing 
She enjoys life an the joy it brings 
She can enjoy life and do what kids do 
Because I’m a real father unlike you 
Now let’s skip ahead three more years 
Look in my eyes you see those tears?
My daughter’s no longer with me yeah it’s true 
I’m turning into a piece of shit just like you 
Day by day is what I’ll do 
And day by day I’ll forgive you 
For not being there for your son
Your life is over mines just begun
I don’t want my daughter feeling the same way 
So I’ll make change in my life starting today

This is Great! not only the writing of the poem, but it's meaning. If it is a true poem of yourself, then I know your 'change' will make that difference for your daughter ASIA's life. Best wishes and love from Glo
