Why were you not there.
Why did you leave.
Why did you not care.
For fifteen years I have not felt whole,
and you are the one to blame.
You caused my tears,
you caused my pain.
I've not felt right in the head,
sometimes I would cry myself to bed.
Now im fine, im ok I dont love you anymore,
because you have made me sad.
Never agian will I call you my dad...

My dad left me when I was little and I always thought something was wrong with me and that he didnt love me.I finally found the courage through writing this poem to get on with my life and stop feeling like something was wrong with me .Thank you for reading.

That's so sad... But a really good poem. Some spelling faux pas but not bad ones.
