Dear Dad (Concrete) by liquidlama
How the f*** could you try and do that to you son; scream, slam and break doors and furniture and brandish a gun. Then turn around and say you love me. Somewhere inside somehow i felt it was true but love is gone and you're the worst monster when your'e on those spirits and brews. Stressful month on the job, have a few drinks. I can't ever forget the night you choked mom by the sink, I had to pull you off. On vacation, when you thought i was sleep, I heard you speaking of hos when you cheat. fucked up fathers is a family disease, like a tumor you can't remove cause it supports the tree. Times passed and we're gladly away, now when you call and say I love you its easier to reciprocate. Cuz we've had many great times and memories, Its better to love you from far away.

lot of potential here because of the emotional honesty, but need to tighten -- relook some of your word choices to them more interesting/poetic.

I like your ability with words for this situation (i can relate, and was very touched) I felt your anger in link with mine...I think that this would also make great lirycs for a song..i love the family disease line...I felt my anger as i was reading your words(about my father)

"fucked up fathers is a family disease, like a tumor you can't remove cause it supports the tree."
that was a great comparison. nice, a lot of raw emotion, but it could be better. not that it's not good already.

Dark Angel, that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long long time. Call the tree doctor.
