Dear Daddy

Hey daddy,
How're you today?

I'm rather curious,
Do you not come back,
For fear of what I'll say?

If that is the case,
You don't have to worry.
Because I won't shout,
I can speak softly.

I just want an explanation,
To stop the 'Why's' circling inside.
Or do you not come back,
For lack of a fatherly mindset?

Was I the mistake,
My mother is always saying?

I just want to talk reasonably.
I want to know your side.
All I've ever been told,
Is just a bunch of lies.

And what about your son?
