My Father

Folder: 
My Parents

born as military brat

But that didn't last

you stole from the government

Then ratted out your friends

just to save your benefits 

Where is the honor in that

You had a chance to be a dad

You chose violence over family

you cheated on her and made her watch

You wasn't a dad

You were hardly around

A weekend visit when you felt like it
Your kids were never enough

I wanted a dad around
but you was always too busy

mama working two jobs
to make ends meet
while you had it easy

i went through hell
with three different dad's and each for a different reason

My momma had to leave me
but it wasn't her fault
it was her time to go

your suppose to help me stand
not knock me down on my ass
when i needed you that day
right after mom passed away

a father is suppose to love his children
not toss them out in the storm or create one

I'm trying to forgive you
I'm trying to understand
I'm trying to move forward

The pain still haunts me to this day

You weren't a father, even when I needed it the most
