Letter To Dad Poem by Marquel Walker

Did you hate me
Or you ain't want nothing to do with me
Honestly
When you left it kind of bothered me
Still do
I use to draw pictures of me and you
Told stories about how you always there
Even though they wasn't true
Because I couldn't tell the truth
It'll only bring pain
Mommy left too
When will things change
But i hope you understand
That it's hard to teach yourseld to be a man
I wanted you to stay
Guess that wasn't your plan
I'm 15 now or did you already know
Even though you wasn't there
I still can't let go
Grandma took your place now
And did you know she took me in as a child
Was a little skeptical about what was going on
Her heart was my home
To you I was sh*t
How worthless can I get
The things you put me through I will never forget
