letter to my father

Maybe these hips wouldn’t be swaying

Hand wouldn’t be dangling

And maybe not so feminine

Had you been around

So forgive me if I’m pressing

By making this confession

I was down with a concussion

I woke up more alive

Where were you?

When I needed you the most.

I kept falling down a thousand times,

I finally learnt to pick myself up again

But I’ll be alright

I’m a grown man,

I make my own decisions,

Broke another man’s virginity

Was I looking for you?

I am stronger now,

Broken but I’m healing

I found God that lives within me

Was I looking for you?

Maybe these boys wouldn’t be hurting me,

Dragging my heart down the street they keep on playing me

Had you been around

Now I’m a walking mess i’m gullible

I’m seeking comfort in his arms

Is there hope in the world for others just like me

I’m a grown man,

I make my own decisions,

Broke another man’s virginity

Was I looking for you?

I am stronger now,

Broken but I’m healing

I found God that lives within me

Was I looking for you?

Where were you?

When I needed you the most.

I kept falling down a thousand times,

I finally learnt to pick myself up again

But I’ll be alright

Daddy you let me down,

I don’t know the scent of a father’s love

You let me down so bad,

Father you let me down,

That’s a title you don’t deserve

You let me down so bad
