Dear Father, Why did you leave me?
Now I have abandonment issues
My Father, I wanted you to know
That I never really missed you
I’ve heard all bout you
In the stories that float around
About how you vanished into the night
You left without a single sound
Sweet Father, I’ve heard a tale
You were a soldier
I have my doubts
Cuz I’ve grown so much older
You were a soldier
That I’ll never believe
Cuz the fact remains that
You’ll always be a deserter to me
<******** you, father
Why did you go?
I hope you think about the kid
That you’ll never ever know
I remember when I was ten
Life wouldn’t be the same
I asked my mom a question
And you, my enemy got a name
I’m sorry, my father
That I was given life
I guess you were just confused enough
What you didn’t know, you could deny
I’m at peace now
You selfish, little a**
If I had the chance to meet you
You better believe that I’d pass
You know, Father
I’ve had this master plan
I’d grow up to be better than you
After all, I’m the bigger man
I wish I could really truly hate you
But I’m not gonna judge
Life is just too short
To hold my life-long grudge
I’m better off now, Father
Than if you had stayed
Face it you arrogant d**k
I’ve really got it made
I hope you’ve been happy
Since you disappeared into the wind
Daddy, I love you
Sincerely, your forgotten kid
