Father of the year award

He doesn't  know if he ever had the chance to say bye.
He just knows that as a child he would cry.
He asked Mommy when is Daddy coming home?
A child without a father, feeling so all alone.
He couldn't remember what he looked like, didn't know the sound of his voice.
Asking mommy why he left, was it my fault? Or was it his choice?
Step father abused him, mommy was at work.
Step father shot Heroine, his dick was always in the dirt.
Teachers asked him what his father did.
He replied "I don't know, he left me when I was a little kid.
I don't know where he is, haven't heard from him in years.
He's probably somewhere getting drunk and running from his fears.
He has another son, apparently worth more than me.
But I need him too, but the alcohol has him to blind to see."
Little does he know, his beautiful little boy is growing up to fast.
And is forgetting more about his father while he leaves him in the past.
But atleast he had a mom who played mom and dad.
Who busted her ass to give him things she never had.
One day his sister came home with her fathers number.
The drought was finally over, it rained and thundered.
He called his dad, the sound of his voice made him choke up and cry.
His dreams of talking to his father came true after 11 years went by.
Finally he had his dad, but he still never came around.
He's only seen him 3 times after the day his father was found.
He doesn't talk to his father anymore, he sometimes wishes he never met em.
His father wasn't who he thought he would be, he wishes he could forget em.
But he still loves his dad, he was just never there.
But that's life, not everything is fair.
