Dear Father

Dear Father, 

You’re a coward 

If I had a dollar for every hour you missed, 

I’d be the richest man to exist. 

I hate when you insist that I should call, 

Instead of you calling me, 

This ain’t the way our bond should be at all. 

You see, 

No matter if you read these words 

Or cheeks turn, please learn, 

You did the same shit as the fathers of my cousins. 

Never bothered to ever ponder paternal loving. 

Grew fonder of others and became a husband. 

While I would wrestled with self esteem 

Any negative thought would embezzle by any means. 

Lost, sitting in the dark, 

With happiness impediments. 

It’s evident,  

The crappiness is keen.
