"Letter for my dad".


Dear dad it's me. I been thinking I 

been dreaming wishing that you

could see what your little girl 

would be. now my heart is broken

and I feel like you were stolen. sorry for the man

I'm chosen. I know I was chasing 

for a

man like a check. something I 

regret

looking for love the wrong ways,

hoping they would fill your space

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But it ain't nothing like a father place

but you gotta understand that I

never had a man to show  me what

the real is, I never had a chance

I staring at this picture

of you holding

my hand and the smile

on your 

face and your eyes were just

priceless. they  say I'm just like you

attitude super feisty, I know you

would of spoiled me and said

lord prise me

 

treat me like the queen that I am

imma highness. the older that I am

getting the more I'm realizing. 

 

I wrote this letter 

for my dad. dear

dear dad. and for

my future man

to understand,

he gotta understand

 

I like the knowledge that a 

real man do but if he love you

he gonna teach you that's the

truth, he gonna build you up and

stick around to fight just like the

truth. it's a  fairy tale for me

something that I ain't used too.  aye

 

I wrote this letter

    for my dad

dear dear dad.
