I'M Fatherless

I'M FATHER-LESS
Hear my cry
See a tear from my eye
Everyday I look up in the sky
Then a big question comes WHY
In my heart I'm sad
In my mind I'm mad
If someone asks where's your dad
I feel bad
Sometimes can't even say this word out DEAD
I was only ten
I was completely young then
I was already expected to learn
Not to cry and be a man.
How is that fair
I was just a child who still carried a teddy bear
But still I was told to grow
Some people don't completely know
Stress and pain we undergo
But it is fine like a river I'll continue to flow
Even though;
I'M FATHER-LESS.
