Why did you never come to see me?
Do you even care?
The relationship that we have
is not one that many share.
You never even came to see me
start secondary school.
Now my hard has hardened
in case I am mistaken for a fool.
You never even came to see me first perform
yet I think about you at dusk and dawn.
You put me and Mum through so much pain
and I really hope that you feel ashamed.
Why did you fight for me then,
but not look for me now?
It's that everyone changes for the worst;
That's what I've found.
I wonder, do you even deserve the title, 'Dad'?
Because thinking of you only makes me mad.
Mad at myself that I made you go away.
I just hope that you'll be my dad some day.
I wrote this at 13 years old.
