Hey there,
I am sorry that you lost your father. Writing is a great way to express your feelings and I hope that writing this wonderful poem makes you feel a little better.
Stay strong.

Hey there! I moved your thread from Depression and Suicide to Self Expression because my co-mods and I feel that it fits better here - your post is a poem and doesn't seem to be asking for any advice. If you want to talk about what happened to your dad, feel free to PM me or post another thread.
This is a great poem, by the way! Writing is a great way to cope. If you'd like to share more, we'd all love to read it. I'm sorry that you've had to go through this. Hang in there and stay strong.

I am so sorry to hear about your father. This is a great piece of writing too! As Laura said, if you want to talk about what happened, you can!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I really love your poem though. I think it's a really good way to cope. It often helps me writing poems to people about what I wish I could tell them. Just know it's perfectly ok to be upset, mad at him even. I would be to. But remember you're not alone. We are here for you! Hang in there and keep your head up. He's watching you from heaven. <3
Whatever it is, chances are I've been there.
If I can make it out, you can too.
