The Man

You would think HE would tell you the truth,
But you can't even believe HIM as much as you want to...
And as much as it kills you inside,
You want to believe HE has nothing to hide...
Even though there were so many times when HE made you cry,
You just wished that HE was the one to wipe your eyes...
But HE doesn't even realize,
That HE keeps getting caught in HIS own lies...
HE thinks you have nothing to offer,
And it never occurred to HIM that you're HIS ONLY DAUGHTER...
While you sit there and cry yourself a river of tears,
Your mind starts racing back to all those years...
Thinking about all the hurt and pain HE cause,
You look in HIS eyes and yet you still can't see HIS flaws...
And all you ever wanted was for HIM to be there,
But then HE says "Do you really think I care?...
LIttle girl, why would I give you any of my time? ,
I don't even think you were supposed to be mine...
Actually, you were my mistake,
Sorry that your mother caused you all that heartache..."
Remember any fool can make a baby,
Even though, not even an idiot can be thst shady...
But only a MAN can raise a child, sadly,
But now you should only have one Daddy...

Mommy!

When I was younger, my father was never really in my life. He was always in and out, making promises that he couldn't keep. One day he told me that he didn't want to be a part of my life and that I was a mistake. Back then my mom was there to comfort me and tell me that he is an idiot.
