Perspective Loss

Do you ever wonder who I am
A single thought towards your little man

For better or worse, am I better, am I worse
The questions of the universe twirling like a verse

With you in my life who would I be now
Not so f***ed up ? So sad to be around

Would you of told me not to do it, to put those pills down
To grow up in your image, to grow up standing proud

What if, What if
I’m done with this
You never were around

I’ve lived my life the best I could
Just me and mom, through bad through good

I never needed you before, and I don’t need you now
So I’m not gonna mourn this loss

The loss of a father I never had


The author's comments:
My mother had me when she was 18, my dad bailed on us and I've never met him. I don't know his name or a single thing about him. My mother has almost never spoken on the matter, but has on one occasion asked me if I would like to get in contact with him. My reply, that he was never in my life, he was a coward who abandoned his child. So why would I want to get to know him, his absence only made me stronger.
