Lost Boy

Born into a family with only one parent, 
Raised by a girl who was only eighteen.
Taught by a teacher who despised my talents,
Never knew this world could be so mean.

                                   I am the lost boy....

My very first father was a real good catch.
He kinda looked like me, our skin colors matched.
He was there for the first few days but, 
since him and moms went separate ways,
everything changed.

                                     I am the lost boy....

Daddy number two...now he was the real thing.
We didn't look alike but we had the same name.
I never got to meet him but, I've heard many stories.
He didn't think I was his so he didn't do nothing for me.

                               I am the lost boy...

Now, my other dad isn't really mine.
He's my brothers dad but, he was with me all the time.
He stayed around for almost 10 Months
Until he got a new girlfriend and moved away from us.

                                  I am the lost boy....
All I want to do is find my real dad
So he can talk to me about girls, teach me how to be a man.
How to fix a car....
How to handle school...
How to do whats right instead of breaking all the rules.

I know I'm not special 
and I'm asking for a lot.
But, I'll do anything....give up everything I've got
Just to find the one man who can fill this empty slot
In my Heart...
In my life.

                                           I am the Lost Boy!

Dad's Poem

i know your heart 
what you would do 
you are my dad now this is true
it makes you sad from what i do
when i dont come and visit you
kieran says i dont love you 
but i hope you know that thats not true
i love you i really do 
you know i do what i do 
because i am just like you
i spend my days missing you 
that encludes ryan too
hating my self feeling regret 
i have no clue what will come next
im independent and lazy too
but im writing this just for you
you are my dad and i love you




Why Dad

Hey dad this is for you
Oh dad….
Why did you leave me?
I am alone with no guidance 
Every time I have a birthday and never get a card 
I remember the pain you caused
Throughout my last 19 years
It aint easy to grow up without you 
But I made it and I am stronger than ever
But I made it and am stronger than ever before
Daddy why did you say good bye
And stop talking to me 
All I want is to get a card from you or something
I sit here every day and am stuck with the sad truth that you wouldn’t send it 
I don’t know what to do 
I am lost without you 
But you never send for me 
I sat there for 19 years praying hoping to see you 
And then the day came 
I saw you for a few years and you disappeared again 
Leaving me without a man in my life
I had no male guidance to speak of 
But I had my three headed mother that will ever live on 
I hope to see you still 
No matter the pain caused you are still my dad and I love you 
Just remember you have a son who cares and is old enough to understand 
All I want is to talk 
To speak 
To write 
Something for me to know you care and haven’t forgotten about me
Just haven’t forgotten me or else 
I would truly be lost for good 
No one will help me 
I will be lost forever and never to be found
No matter what they do
 The only cure would be you saying I love you
I need dad more than ever and don’t know to do without you
