Daddy

Daddy

We never had you, but we survived without you
My mommy, strong black woman did what she could
So that we were raised good

Where's Daddy, No daddy to be found
Abandoned at random
Sister would throw emotional tantrums
Kids with no daddy is a pandem-ic

It hurts, why were we cursed
For being born
Dreams and hopes of a happy family Torn
By your ignorance

It makes absolutely no sense why you left
You made us out to be in the form of a debt
That you tried to avoid

Now I have attempted to fill the void
with unsuccessful relationships

Stuck with a permanent chip on my shoulder the size of a boulder

You hurt us, abandoned us, why do you hate us when you created us?

You think we lost out, no YOU cut out and YOU lost out
before we even knew you. How could you?

Knowing what you did, how can you continually live?
Knowing what you did, makes it hard for us to forgive


How can you step out on what came out from your seed
Take heed your time will come, as your damage is done

You will suffer from the emotional rupture
Pouring from the souls of your abandoned children, you better listen
Because when you see our names, you will feel the shame as we are listed on the paper to collect your debted wager.

Happy Father's Day

Daddy
