I never asked anyone to check the bottom of my bed for monsters because the real monster slept in a bed with another woman who wasn't mommy,
I never learned how to fish because you were never there to take me to the lake like every other daddy took his daughter,
I didn't believe in super heroes like the rest of my kindergarten class because on Halloween, my teacher said that the real heroes of the world were our fathers,
No one ever taught me about sports so when i was seven, i made a goal in my own team's net,
Every year I stayed up waiting on your call and gave up at twelve because it would no longer be my birthday and you would no longer have a reason to want to talk to me,
Now that I'm sixteen you called mom to tell her to not let me get pregnant like she did,
You told her to  tell me to watch out for the boys who will later on break my heart,
But you broke my heart long before any silly boy got the chance to.
