"My Dad Was a Ghost"

Just "click" on it

Μy Dad was a ghost

As soon as he opened the door, 

terror was spread in the air.

My Dad was a ghost

Left in his loneliness,

Sleepless guard of Honor and Reputation

His glance always in readiness

just in case bad behaviors happened

then punishment would follow.

My Dad was a ghost

Through the tv he received the messages

throughout the movies

his painful past was forgotten for a while.

My Dad was a ghost

always unspoken and angry

trying to get rid of his suffering…

but it was an unbearable load.

My Dad was a ghost

He didn't know

He couldn't see

He never cared

As he didn't live it up

Always struggling

to get rid of ugly images of his youth.

My Dad was a ghost

Always running 

away from his home

a drifter and a dropout,

as soon as he got back

punishment would follow.

My Dad was a ghost

Punished and Punisher

Black images flew all over the house

as soon as he arrived.

Fear and terror

was his aura

Teacher of all bad examples

Forgot and forgotten

sinking into the cloud of nothingness.

My Dad was a ghost

Sinner in everyway

the unforgiven one

Unspoken and angry, in the edge of madness.

My Dad was a ghost

That's why I don't see him anymore

As I think now…I have never had.

Sometimes, I just look in the mirror

But I’ m still afraid,

as I may look like him.
