Something So Harsh

by

Eddie Tacub

pain within me for many years
my heart trembling with constant tears
reading something so harsh
but yet it is so true
as a brother and as a son
what am i to do
someone who brought my sister into this world
and someone who's seeking
to find a father in the middle of this twirl
a repeated cycle with your fourth child
that means one more lost added to the negative files
so harsh but yet so true
this letter is from your 2nd son
who forgives you and will always love you
whatever you did it's all in the past
i forgave you so i can find myself
with peace when it's my time being layed to rest
but right now i have a test
a job from GOD
someone might get hurt
but it's for the best
i have a back up with me
and his name is Jesus
the one who we call
to fill in those missing pieces
i seem to have a problem that deeply needs
a solution
seeking for a resolution
and end with a positive conclusion
so coming from my heart
i reach you by saying you need a change
you need to find you a target
and aim for it from whatever range
take that extra step to be a real man
you are our dad,
but yet we want something a little bigger
maybe what she’s searching for
is what we call a "father figure."
one chance is sometimes all you get in life
Jon, Tanya, and myself is now in the past
correct your mistakes
cause now you've got to deal with the rest

you're never to old to change
never too rusty to fix
just remember it ain't over yet
you still have number's 4, 5, and 6
i'm telling you because it's never too late
what your daughter is going through, 1, 2, and 3 can relate
please don't make this a chain reaction
but yet unite
and make this a group action
you, Malia, and the LORD
ask for forgiveness & understanding
faith and encouragement
and pray for a new beginning
start a new life together
so their will be a relationship between
a father & a daughter
always & forever

this is how I see life through my eyes
and what I'm speaking is no lies
I love you both and wish for joy & happiness
So when she looks for her father figure, she wish she had
she looks at the man, that she calls DAD

from me
a prayer, a letter
just for you two
a poem called
something so harsh & yet so true
I pray that it could be changed to-
"something so beautiful, for the two that grew"
