    *FATHERLESS*

    At the time of my birth i was abandoned by my father
    and here i am searching for him but shit..why bother

    Fatherless, I wonder how i made it this far
    How i went through so much, and still came out a star

    I think back wondering if he ever knew i existed
    or if he thought about coming to see me but instead he resisted

    He always wanted a boy, in which i heard he prayed
    So if i came out as one, than would he have stayed

    I used to down myself, thinking i wasn't worth his love
    So from any man around, I looked for a kiss or a hug

    Asking myself, was i not worth his time
    or was i even worth having and being kept alive

    dying inside, jus wanting and trying to be worthy
    Sucking in every word men said about my body being curvy

    I needed that attention, who else was going to give it
    because that perfect lifewith a dad, ciarra just wasn't living it

    and as for my father, he really didn't seem to care
    for if he did wouldnt he have supported me or even just been there

    obviously he didn't care about me, so why call him my father
    He will never be worth my love or even have the privilege to call me his daughter

    So many women look for what you described and its sad because we as men look for the same, we too who grow up with no father dont know how to be, so we run and scatter, and for those who did grow up with a man in the home doesnt mean he was a father, i love it, yet it's positiveness within

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
