Fatherless
This was meant for all to see about someone who is not me
No father drove him to write this down
So Read with everything and take in his words.....
Fatherless
Always short one family member
Never did know why
Never asked where this person went
Just wondered and cried
Maybe he was too young
Maybe he was scared
Maybe he figured if he disappeared his oldest son would never care
Made excuses for him just to get by
Got older and still wondered “who was this mystery guy?”
Had others to look up to
But it wasn’t the same
Finally came to terms that this niggas a lame
Then one day he called
He said “son get dressed”
Shy fire pumped heart by that voice was cooled
Not knowing all along
Still I was going to be the FATHERLESS fool
Filled my head with lies
I believed every line
Then dropped me off at the crib
I even believed that he wanted me as his kid
I felt left out because he had four more
Takes care of them “Not me”
I feel I need him more
I may sound selfish, but he’s my dad too!
Why won’t he be apart of my life like I want him to!
Now I’m seventeen and I don’t think about him much
Except for right now because I think I wrote too much
I realize now more than ever that being FATHERLESS is a really bad thing, but you get over it
Just keep doing your thing
Father or no father you’ll do just fine
That’s something you’ll learn with a shitload of time
Now all grown up with kids of my own
Gripping ever so tightly repeating “Daddy will never leave you all alone”
Don’t want my babies to stay up all night
Wondering if daddy loves them or not
I’ll be there birth to death whether they like it or not
The Thunder storm is over
I’ve let down my umbrella…
FIN
