Unconditional Love

My father wasn’t nice to me
Not just unfair like the rest can be
He didn’t like me from the start
I just couldn’t wait til we would part
He would push me away in a time of need
Couldn’t see my feelings through his greed
My mom tried to help me a bit
Yet every time she tried, he would hit
Withdrawn I became, hid my heart
All the while inside, I was falling apart
Loyal to him is how I would be
Not knowing how much it was hurting me
Ten years later, I still can’t forgive
Yet through it all I have love to give
His actions have still an impact in my life
My heart is still damaged, cut like a knife
I hope someday I will see
He was my father, but he didn’t deserve me
