My Biggest Fear

I am only one who hopes that I didn't have a fear
But I do, I do have one
Most fears are being trapped by bear
But mine, mine is not a pun

I have a father that left
He left when I was young
He did no theft
But it still stung

My mother says it was his choice
I don't know what to believe
I could always just speak my voice
Showing her my grieve

My mother says Oh, He's just a jerk!
But how am I to know if she won't let me see
My biggest fear,
It isn't all about me!

My biggest fear is not just to be free
My biggest fear isn't having glory
My biggest fear, is hearing the other side of the story

oh Katelyn this is a very emotional write many can relate to. there must be so much hurt for everyone involved when a family breaks up Hearing the other side of the story may bring closure but may also cause more pain - hugs Jan x

Thank you Jan, yes I do believe it will bring me closure.. but also just more pain. And since I am only 13 years old, you can see what I have gone through
