A Case of Post Conviction

 Anxiously Awaiting while they're investigating
 7 years later, your innocence they're debating all this stress they're creating
 it's all so infuriating
corrupt courts instigating
 falsified evidence, a hundred years deflating years we've been separated
 DNA evidence, they're still negating
 can't it be me they're interrogating
isn't my testimony crucial to my father's incarceration
 I know him better than anyone in the nation
16 years without traumatic separation then I got a rude awakening
 I kiss you goodnight day breaks I awake and my father's been wrongfully taken
 he is innocent of the crimes you accuse him of partaking
16 years and not one hand was laid
 he left my mom saving us from her intoxication and her son's abusive complications he saw my childhood wasting
 my brother and sister I've been raising
 he worked 12-hour days, rent electric water all bills he paid
 cooking us dinner to prevent us from starvation
 who knew at 13 Id be ovulating
 let alone fornicating
 a grown man impregnating a child disassociating, afraid to tell my dad, I knew he would be mad.
 I call him in from the waiting area
 with tear-filled eyes I break the news
come to find out it wasn't my right to choose he demanded castration, punish him for his predatorial abuse,
 statutory rape or child molestation
DNA evidence proving his manipulation
but judge day let him off with criminal endangerment
not even a sex offender registration
A grown man preys on a 13 year old girl repeatedly assaulting her till she winds up pregnant and you let him off on probation forcing me into cohabitation
He protected me from him
free on the streets a monster roamed  searching for little girls that glowed
he didn't care how old in an attempt to deny his crimes he passed blame to my father
CPS believed his lies hesitation they didn't even bother they packed my bags and sent me afar making visits quite hard
I was alone scared and Pregnant
DNA evidence for my newborn daughter proved that the Predator was at fault
 after the adoption my time away from home came to a halt
CPS withdrew their involvement deciding living with my dad was my safest option
over the next two years
 I shed so many tears
running away when trouble nears
 putting my dad through a parent's worst nightmare
randomly I'd quietly disappear searching for the love I lost when my daughter was here
but he taught me to take responsibility for the things I do
no matter if they're naughty
 his need to inspire those around him is actually quite Godly
always helping in any way he could
treating everybody like somebody
my dad is my mother there has never been another
 a mom alcohol Smothers yet he encourages me to love her
 a beer-battered marriage she prefers throwing us to the gutter
 losing my dad has affected my life causing my mind to stutter
worry and grief paralyzing me and I shudder hours I've cried wondering why
would this had been easier if you died bombarded with all the letters you have typed why is it so hard for me to reply
it's like you're a ghost yet alive
sending me inspirational advise
when you're the one locked inside a space confined
I try to compromise and write you more letters to Archive
two more babies since our last goodbye and i wish you were there through the pain filled sighs
or be there when I open my eyes and when I feel like no one tries
 you taught me to be kind and love the people that find the time to look inside my mind holding on to those who Keep Me entwined Forever cherishing the love you've been denied another appeal
 will hopefully reveal
 the DNA concealed
 Freedom might become real
helping us heal reuniting with family is something they can steal
anxiously waiting Deal or No Deal
