PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Gary I wish,

You wanted to be a part of my life,

Daddy is that what I should say?

There are so many times I say I don’t care,

But I really do,

Do you love me?

I really do not know,

Will I ever know?

Will things ever be different?

Do I scare you?

I am sick is that why?

I am not normal like you,

What is normal anyways?

Maybe that’s why,

I wish I knew that you loved me,

Gary I need to know that you care,

I need to know why,

So many things I would like to know,

Did I do something wrong?

Gary you are my dad,

But using that word feels wrong,

People always say it will be ok,

But really its not,

There’s a hole in my hart,

Will it ever be filled?

Will things ever be different?

You are my dad,

But using that word feels wrong,

Will it ever feel ok?

To say that you’re my dad.
