Father's Love

Life isn't giving me a father that seems to care

    someone to scare the darkness away

I leave to say I walked away

    others say I run to hide away

I stay for the mom who hides her pain behind a smile

    a mom who would give her life for her children's sake

What brings light to my life is a little boy half my blood

    who will grow up knowing what is his father's love

My heart is darkened by the death of someone so young

    someone who should have had a chance

So a little backstory, this was made in a creative writing class, it was the first time I ever really expressed who I really was or how I really felt in my writing. This poem means a lot to me, so I thank you for reading it. :)
