Daddy left me
I hope there are other men out here better than him
Everyone’s reaching
I can almost hear them calling my name
I feel so ashamed
Maybe if I ignore them it will all just go away
I’m running towards love
I know that will save me
If I could just find someone who loves me
I have my son but that isn’t enough
I need HIM to love me
Not all those other girls
I’m willing to give my all
And accept if he only gives me half
I just need HIM near
They say you have to fall before you can get back up
I’m here now and seem to can’t move
Everyone’s reaching
But it’s not him
So I don’t want their hand
I feel so lost
No one understands…………………

A lot of girls are faced with this situation (as well as boys) The father of these children ae usually incarcerated, dead, or simply never owned up to responsibility of the child being theirs. I think people think its up for Child Support Enforcement to lock them up. But what does that justify? He Still gone..money is adding up so now he will NEVER pay.. and that stills leaves a child to wonder WHAT DID I DO FOR HIM NOT TO WANT ME? I know this because as a child I always asked my mother and in retrospect it caused her to cry worst than me. But It wasn't her fault! I think the best thing a man can get is KARMA he never have good luck for ducking out. ALL the money in the world he owes can never amount to MEMORIES..
My first time EVER saying the word daddy (besides saying it in conversation) was to my son :). For years i would wonder and still do to this day is... Why? What have I done not to have my dad around. It's Kinda funny but at the age of 22. I try and look him up on the internet. Since the early ages of being able to understand what was going on I would look in the local obituary to see has he dropped dead cause I honestly believe that, thats gonna be the only way I see him. I even checked his name in the system to see if he's in a local jail. Maybe I could visit him? I wonder where I get my complexion? I've wrote poems about not having a father in my school newspaper Let him know I was good kid. tell him what he missed. Sounds kind of sad but I am not embarrased because my mother always instilled in me ITS NOT MY LOST..ITS HIS Sometimes I wonder if i walked past him on my way to work or even if I have any other sisters out brothers out there? A lot of times when you grow up with out a father they say you go searching for someone ( a boy) to take the place of your father..NOT ME..OPPOSITE. I HAVE MEN ISSUES. This helped me seriously because it shed light on the situation.I promised myself that I will NEVER deak with a man who will not take care of his kids NO MATTER THE SITUATION.because I know how it feels. From the situation of not having a father i appreciate my mother more..cause i know it was hard GOD KNOWS :) I'm levelheaded I know what to teach my son. Until this day i am humble because I know what I have become with out the help of him.
What I am trying to say many girls run to a man to feel the love that they have never recieved from a man instead I lots of anger I DIDN'T TRUST ANYONE.. It took for me to learn to forgive to understand that while i was around here filled with frustration and hate.HE is walking around stress free. He doesn't know or will he ever about the woman I have become. It made me value the determination, will, independency of my mother that I am forever grateful for her. My children for allowing me to grow and the NEW man in my life that showed me the way to FORGIVENESS....
