Dear Dad
Dear dad
Well really can i even say dear dad to a man who’s never been a father
This is pretty sad
Sad because you had four kids and you seem to act like their a bother
Not sad because the four kids you had were taken care of by other men
But sad because you weren’t man enough to be a proper father
When i think about all the times I needed you to be there and you were
My mind goes to a blur
because when I need you, you never occur
there’s always an excuse
and when too many excuses continued to be in use
My heart became loose
And the love i had for you began to reduce
So maybe if i say “Dear dad” again
You’ll listen to the pain you’ve induced
And start to become better for us if not for you
So dear dad
Will you become a better you?
Not just a better you but
Will you become new?
