Dear Daddy
Dear daddy,
When I was born and only so small,
You thought I was so so sweet
But little did you know you didn’t know anything at all
3 more little ones came your way
Your only born became the oldest of four
& it was all good in our eyes until the only thing
we could understand was you couldn’t handle it anymore
Then one night it all started...
Mommy and Daddy always fighting and screaming
Us kids only understood so much
I stayed up listening; wishing I was daydreaming
The day came it finally stopped and you left
You stopped caring and it was all on us
I should have seen it coming
Mom and I wondered whatever happened to trust?
I used to think we were a family
Everything around me was changing in a flash
Never thought this would happen
Turns out this is worse than ever imagined
You’re still around but it’s different
We’re not the same; We’re broken
& I’ve tried to tell you
But mostly I rather go unspoken
So I have a Mom but not a Dad
We’ve done good without however it’s a horrific sight
So dear Daddy, you say it’s not your fault
Is it really? Are you right?
