hey_dad
unhinged i'm having a hard time growing up over here
you never told me it would be like this dad
i mean i assumed you thought i would catch on or you were protecting me from something or something...
but right now all i really need is for you to sing me harry chapin songs in the middle of the night like you used to when i had nightmares dad...'cept this one is a waking nightmare

i miss you and love you so goddamn much

nocturnal you wanna threaten me? fine. stop paying for school. I'd rather drop out than play along with you saying I have to do something because otherwise you'll cut me off. my education is not just something you bought, it's not your property just because you pay for it. these four years of my life in no way belong to you. so please, take it away. don't hold your breath for me to suddenly regret that I said this and do as you say. I'm sick of it. you controlled my sister with it and you controlled me with it, but I can't do that anymore. I'm not taking your money in exchange for my unhappiness anymore.
hey dad, fuck you.

Patty i see your pain
the wrinkles on your face, your cut up hands, aged by hard labor
your red complexion, hours of sun, your tired eyes

i see me in you
your strength, your stubbornness
your smile, your goofiness
"Arney, the strongest man in the world"

i hear your voice
i look up to you, i listen to you even when you don't think i do
your wise advice keeps me on my toes
the proud compliments you pay me mean more than the world: with you talk is cheap, unless you truly mean what you say.

i love you and i can't bear to think that someday you'll be gone

i'm just very lucky to call you dad

TalviFatin Realize and accept that you're an alchoholic asshole and you need to be more responsible than I am. Sleep in your bed instead of the chair, and stop watching Emeril if you arnt going to cook. Sometimes I wish I didnt have you as a dad. I dont want one, and I dont think I ever had one. 031005

your son every time i look in the mirror now i see your face..each year etches more of you in the lines that shape my face..it's really weird..because i still miss you even though you've been dead all these years..and even though we were dissimilar in personalities..i'd like to think i at least inherted a small portion of your staggering, omnivorous conition and apprehension..I'll never be the man you were..but I can at least try to incorporate the positive aspects of your personhood..I already feel that inate sense of distance you exuded towards me..I now seem to exude toward not just my child but pretty much everything else once dear to me is sheathed in this inextricable amber..a kind of opaque prophylactic..I know this is from you..I wish you would have been more available to me emotionally..but I am still in your thrall..many poeple thought that you were a truculent tower of intolernace..but I saw the gentleness, I saw the mercy, I remember the patience of your inculcation and lectures..I remember your sensitivity too my even then severe reserve and rectitude and how you restrained those gushing ribaldries you were so famous for..I still pine for that fishing trip we never took...I am told I walk like you, I laugh like you, I imbibe books obsessively like you..I am blunt (only when I allow myself a rare moent of unqualified candor) like you..I miss you still dad..and I wish you could have reached me emotionally as you did my sisters..for all the interesting lectures and philosophical discourses we had..I would have traded them all for just a few hugs..just a few words about what you thought of me.. 031005
