This is the story of a young girl

"This is the story about a young girl,
a young girl who never saw her father around.
A young girl who never, till this day, got to know what was a hug or a kiss from a father.
A young girl who always listens to other girls talk about the're fathers...but can never relate.
A young girl who grew up seeing her mother struggle just to provide her daugher with some food on the table.
A young girl who couldn't get what she wanted because her mother was living paycheck to paycheck,
A young girl who always wondered why he couldn't make the effort to visit her on her birthdays?
A young girl who acted like she didn't care but on the inside... that grudge is killing her softly.
A young girl who's heart is full of anger and tries to let go, but it pulls her back with force.
A young girl who now hears about her father being stuck in bed with an amputated leg...
A young girl who doesn't feel pitty for him at all.
A young girl who is now a cold hearted woman."

This poem definitely told a story, just like you wrote in the title.You manage to tell a story of what happens to all of us when we grow up, and we can finally understand what is going on around us. This is a wonderful poem and very relatable.
