My daddy issues


My first father

He left without a thought

He left my mom

Pregnant and alone

To do it all by herself

I was born.

Me,my mother,my grandparents

They were my family

I lived

Happy

Then came my second father

I called him dad

trusted him

But he forced

me to grow up

Too fast

Too soon

He took my innocence from me

For three fucking long years

I felt darkness

Like I had never felt before

Guilded only by the warm lights

Of my unaware family and friends

And when I spoke up

Told of the innocence stolen from me

My mother cried

My first father

who had stayed distant,

but there cried

My grandmother

and my grandfather

all cried

I cried

Tears fell

As I sat in front of the woman,who asked me questions

The glass that was a mirror to me,

but I knew there was people

Police officers

Watching

I gave a testomony

The courtroom was cold

My hands shaking

My second father went to jail

And I was slowly healing

My world got brighter

I am no longer a scared little girl

Though I still cry

I am strong

I may have daddy issues

But i have pulled through

Never again

Will I let anyone hurt me
