Wildfire

I, am a wildfire,
Burning from inside out.
I, am soot, falling to the earth.

I didn't know where to put pain,
And then it all made sense.
I had to stop blaming myself,
For his mistake.

I was his daughter, I am his child.
But for some reason,
He picked his emotions over me.
When I needed him the most,
He was gone.

When I was dying inside;
He was too busy,
Screaming at my mom.

He is all the things i hate about myself,
I am scarred forever, with heinous thoughts in my mind,
Yearning for acceptance and love from a father who never gave me his time.
