Poem
Although you were never there for me We never had a father-daughter moment You never told me you love me And me always felt like... the lost girl- The one without a father! But with all that I felt and said...I forgave you! Because- I am alive because of you I am of your blood I am your child... Who needed you! My heart aches for you! There were times I felt angry with you I was depressed thinking I wasn't wanted I had moments where I cried myself to sleep thinking you just didn't care about me. You have no idea how much you hurt me. I am the lost girl! But with all that I felt and said...I forgave you! Because- I still want to get to know you more I still care about you I still need you I still love you...You are my father! My heart aches for you! I may be a grown woman now but it doesn't ceased the feel of wanting and needing to be loved. I am maturing and understanding the concepts of life. I am trying to be more on the positive side and believe- You were never there for me but kept me in your thoughts You never had a picture of me but memorized what I look like You never had the chance to tell me you loved me but engraved my name on your heart And I hope one day we will have that chance to settle our feelings... Mine especially! Needless to say- You are nonetheless the father I am here today, on earth living and breathing life. I'll never judged nor disrespect you. I'll never assumed nor implement the worst of you. But I will always love you beyond your capability for me. I will always have your blood runs thru my veins, acknowledging my roots. Most especially, I will forever be your daughter wether you're there or not... My father - Smile! Written by; Akkina R Downing 4-12-16
