Dear Dad,

Dear Dad,

All I ever wanted was your genuine love,
Yet when you were alive, it was never enough.
You left a void, deep within my heart,
A space that time can never restart.

No words can truly express
How desperately I yearned to be seen,
To be recognized, to be loved—
But you only saw the flaws in between.

I questioned my worth,
Wondered if I was truly your son,
If I belonged in this family,
A place where I never felt one.

I longed for a place to call home,
But I've always felt lost, forever alone.
Now that you're gone, it's clear and true,
A home I dreamt of, but never knew.
