Dear Dad
Dear Dad
why is all I have to say to you
it seems like you haven't cared about me and sis
ever since we were two
so what if you "had" to move
you could have taken me and sis with you
but no you didn't, that was rude
I actually thought you left because we ate all your junk food
but only as I grew did I learn the truth
it wasn't because of me it was all because of you
you left my mommy for another girl
so we went without a home
I ended up packed in a house full of girls but I still felt alone
there was 11 of us but my sis wasn't among them
I bet you did that on purpose somehow
and guess what now I've lived in more than 13 foster homes and 5 youth facilities
what do you think of that
a lot of my parents remind me of you
ugly, rude, abusive, and none of them tell the truth
some I guess I can say thx dad for showing me what no to do

Brutal in its honesty, and leaves enough to the imagination for us to all reminisce on our own deadbeat fathers. Good poem.?
