Dear Stranger

Dear stranger,

Not dad or I wouldn’t be crying. 

You made my life hell without even trying. 

You should’ve stayed quiet instead of just lying.

I would’ve liked love instead of present buying.

I never knew why you weren’t replying. 

I told you secrets without you prying.

You don’t even know I started driving.

Without you for more of my life I’m still surviving.
