Dad I just learned to say your name ain’t you proud why did you walk out the door again
Dad I’ve learned so much already I’m more than 3ft tall now, I like playing outside climbing trees, maybe you’ll call now?
Dad I know you stopped by for my birthday but you missed Christmas, did Santa have me on the naughty list cause it was just you and some cool toys on my Christmas wish list
Dad I can’t believe I’m starting high school and your finally in my life to stay now
Dad I’m so glad I get to live with you now things were too hostile between mum and stepdad I’m thankfully that you’re here now

Dad I’m not a kid anymore. My whole life I just wanted to know who you are
Dad it’s been 13 years since I walked out that door
I hear you still drink and get into bar fights
And the harder drugs **** that was a surprise even to me I thought having a **** and beer was more of your thing
But I don’t know you and I know you and I know of you
What do you say to the man that claims he’s your fam when he missed the entire first chapter and ****** up the next
You say stay safe and take care
The one thing I learned from you is that life is not fair
