Where are you ?


Where are you ?

By Adryanne Redfern

 

Nonexistent Father`s Haunt me 

Ghost`s to our Hearts 

Abandonment Fills The Shadows 

Of our Aching souls

Hoping for a good Father

Who will Stay Forever

 

But …. .. .. … 

Forever is An illusion 

People Joke about it

My father hates me

Well you have one ,

Sorrow never ever undwinds

Wanting Something , or Someone 

Self Esteem plummets below 

And we question ourselves 

Are we Good Enough 

And we ask ourselves 

What did i do ?

Am i a Mistake

Negative thoughts cloud us

And people wonder 

Why im never okay

Theres a noose around

My neck Constanly pulling 

Especially Whenever Holidays happen 

And in my mind 

I scream…..

HE SHOULD BE HERE

…..

He should be Here 

Echos consistently through time 

I often fail too


Rember…. .


I am not alone 

But still i think 

You are not worthy ?

NO YOU ARE WORTHY

Then he comes in 

A  DOTING   FATHER  Figure 

He picked up all

The broken pieces and

People Say … 

Blood is thicker than water 

Well….

I would Rather be 

The water than blood

Endless Rays of Sunshine

Unwind but they never

Plummet….

They are always there

Thanks to someone 

Who Stayed 

Whenever i said


…… Please Don't leave me 

Matthew Ramsey 

This   name changed my 

Life forever and i  owe are highest 

Gratitude to him 

For staying when i  needed him most
