Where is my dad


Where’s my dad?

 

As I look around, I see a man

Could that man be my father?

It looks like him but doesn’t act like a father should,

Could that be him?

That man prefers to use alcohol and drugs, than to spend time with me,

He prefers to spend time with his other kids...

I am here too?

Daddy I am here.

I want us to spend time together,

But I always hear I am busy…

Ok daddy.

Dad do you love me?

I need your love, I feel so incomplete,

I love you dad, why don’t you love me?

He can’t hear me...

My father isn't able to be found.
