An Ode To A Father…
An Ode To A Father…
I used to love em
but because of em
my patience is zero
too tired of waiting
for my hero
to walk through those doors
I just dont give a f*** anymore
I abhor liars
that falsely inspire
little girls
that one day
daddy’s coming home
finally facing it alone
from pre-teen to all grown
mad at my mom
for the reasons he’s gone
still she stayed strong
while I wander about
looking for solace in their eyes
hiding behind the disguise
playing off my insecurity
as she’s just shy
yet I
cling on to anything
showing me affection
leading me in the wrong direction
I don’t want to confess it
I miss him
but he turned his back
and didn’t look back
for fear of facing the facts
that was the choice he made
I fall in love, commit
then expect them to stray
or simply walk away
reverting back to that day
one single man
could’ve changed the way
I expected them to treat me
upgraded the way
they perceived me
receive me
as a lady
with confidence and security
all because
my Daddy loved me….

To all the fatherless families, to the fathers that never learned from their own father how to be a daddy, this isn’t a male bash, this is a society clash, a lack of responsibility as our parents get younger and are learning less from example… we all need to make a difference. Holla if you hear me..
