she's confused on why she's mad at him
and why he doesnt care
she want's him to be her dad again
but knows those feelings they dont share
the only contact he makes with her
is when she makes him see
how much he makes her suffer
and how much he makes her bleed
some people say its for attension
i thought it was a cry for help
i couldnt take the suspension
and i couldnt end it myself
he doesnt know to this day
the pain she feels inside
she almost took her own life away
but knows the pain confirms she's still alive

my parents split up when i wa five. then i got tooken away from my mom a couple times and got put with my dad. after a few months of living with him i then got taken away from him to and put in foster care. its hard enough not feeling loved but i tried so hard to make my dad care about me and i cry every night because i know that is one prayer that god can't answer
