Father for time

Behind this mask I choose to wear
is hurt and despair.
It really hurts, you could’ve stayed
but instead you chose to float your own way.
Seeing these girls laughing with their dad
makes my heart go sore.
Its been a long time now
Why did you walk out that door?
 
I want you to know for this true,
you hurt your little girl, my mother too.
Every night I sit and think
Daddy why did you have to leave
Tears roll down my curious face
For I truly know you won’t come back my way
I pray and pray for you to come around
But it seems like silence hurts more than a sound.
I’m crushed, I’m impaired why did you walk out that door?
 
These 14 years I have grown to be a beautiful girl
Oh how I wish you could see me in this unfair world
Boiling with anger is what you caused
You call yourself a man looking more like a fool.
I wish you could see who took your spot
He’s not just a substitute, he’s a replacement for good
Where’s the hug, the love a father should give?
You were suppose to be my father, my best friend.
I’m unhappy, I’m disturbed why did you walk out that door?
 
“Marry a good man” mommy would say
I see now why you weren’t here to stay
Your like an annoying fly she shot away
but now I only yearn for you to find a way.
I may have a stepdad to provide my every need
but he can never give me my good given father.
Where ever you may be just wanted you to know
I love you daddy, you made my life better than it can ever be
I’m agonized, I’m pained why did you walk out that door?

(2013)

I wrote this when I was in 7th grade 14 years old for a project. I based it off of my life without my biological dad.
