Dear Dad,

Dear Dad.
I used to make everyone think its their fault that you're not here.
Now I'm grown and now i know.
Its your fault that you're not here.
To see me leave high school,
to see me accomplish things in life.
They say i won't see you for another 10 years.
Wow i never thought not having a dad would be this hard.
I want you here to tell me right from wrong.
It must be hard for mom to be my mom and dad
at the same time.
they say I'm growing up too fast?
am I?
Wait you can't answer that because you're never here!

I'm hurting inside.
I just want to die
I want to see you but not behind bars.
Its hard to watch the years and days pass by.
I found this really amazing guy.
Who taught me how to love.
We planned a life together
People say I'm dumb.
To fall for someone like him.
But they're not around to see, so why do they say stuff that isn't true?

Do you really want to see me leave high school?
Do you really want to be there for me?
Do you really want to be there when i have kids?
Do you really care like you say you do?!

I don't know what to think about what you want or care about. Its your problems NOT mine!!

Its hard not having a dad most of my life..
This might not be a good poem but it's just how i feel.

    Okay wow I know how you feel with that except in my moms positions ince the reason i dont have a dad isnt no ones fault, it was just a car accident. but wow okay I am so happy you told me and trusted me with the story of your mom. if you need someone to talk to I am always here since we are in a way in the same position with a lot of things
