Dad, Do You Know?

Dad, do you know, 
How much pain am I in?
I don't like mother's words anymore,
Cursing you daily, again and again!

Everyone else has a father.
Why can't I see you dad?
Why don't they let me see you?
The black-coat uncles are so bad.

I know how good you are.
So it feels like a big pain.
Everyday mom argues so much,
For you, she has such scorn, disdain.

So I sent this today,
Don't know if you'll get my letter.
Answer in secret if you do,
I also wrote how you can reply to it better.
