I Remember
Location
I remember when I was in third grade
I saw a girl wearing a shirt
Sparkly and pink with bubbles
The words "Daddy's girl it said".
I wondered what possible those words could mean
Why I was young and dint know
How that could be possible
My father was awfully mean to me.
I heard people had brithdays and they got presents
So I thought I ask for one
Got my hopes up high went and asked
But regretted awfully, the answer was such unpleasant.
I remember when i was in sixth grade
All of a sudden
My father planned a trip to visit God
"To ask for a son" my mother said.
Well my mom had a boy
And did he make my father happy
But i would look at the babty and wonder
How someone so tiny take away all our joy.
The apple of my father's eye became my brother
And when he got sick
My father would take him to the best hospital
While sick daughters took Tylenol and weeks they suffered.
I remember when I was in tenth grade
There was a friend of mine
Who though I was extrememly ungrateful
"Atleast you know what it's like to have a father" he said.
But was that true?
My whole entire life that question I have chased
Why is it that every penny spent on me in considered to be a waste?
Night after night I would stay up and wonder why
What is so special about the chromosome Y?
And my father, six figures he would make
Yet for college, I was forced to apply for financial aid
And every time I applied I would get rejected
Because why would a financially secure man's daughter get selected?
Now in this poem all I want you see
Maybe this scholarship could save more of my fathers money from being wasted on me
