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.?
