Dear Father or Whoever You Are

Dear Father,

Did you forget to tell your daughter that you love her?

That other than your mother

You place no woman above her

Hey dad,

Did you tell her that she’s the best daughter that any father has ever had

Did you tell her how proud you are; to be are to be her father?

Did you forget….

To tell her that the day she was born was the perfect gift

Did you ever tuck her in at night?

And when she was afraid did you hold her tight

Dear Father, you aren’t really even fit to be called one

Answer me this; why did you run

Maybe it’s a good thing you did

I would never wish someone like you on any kid

When I think of how you hurt me I no longer cry

I no longer even ask myself why

I’ve accepted

That I was neglected

And you are no longer respected

And your excuses and lies are now rejected

Too many times you’ve let me down

And now I longer want you around

I’ve buried all of my anger

And now to me you are a stranger

I’m thru

Pretending to start over with you

Dear Father or whoever you are

I don’t even want to see you from afar

Ive done just fine without you

So there’s no need to continue

To pretend to care

You were never there

Good riddance Dad and this time please stay gone

This time I’ve deleted your number from my phone

No use in holding a fake conversation with someone you don’t know

And now that I’ve let go

Of wasted years trying

And stopped crying

I realize it was never me

You just aren’t fit to be somebody’s daddy

Dear Father or whoever you were supposed to be

I took the blinders off and now I see

You aren’t shit

And although I don’t wish you nothing bad you deserve whatever you get
