This is a great poem. This poem touched my heart because I never felt the love from daddy either. Im very sorry that you had to experience this horrible pain. Keep up the good work.

i loved it. That was so true , cause my parnets are divioced and my dad doesn't care about me at all. I have a new dad and he is dick , but i really have him in my life than Chuck. Someday i am going to tell him how it is. I was really good. I almost cried.

This poem touches me so much. Im only twelve years old and i feel this way my dad compares me to my stepsister so much and he cheated an my mom. When i tell him things im just waisting my breath. Your very good at letting your feelings out and i give u best wished.

Hannah

I cannot relate to your poem, thank goodness. I have a father that cared for me, and a step father who still cares about me. My biological father is dead, but he did care for me. I am sorry that you never got to feel the love that every child deserves from their parents. My heart goes out to you.

I LOVED THIS POEM! My biolagical father (I call a sperm donner) left my mother and sisters for his ex-wife. he left when my mother was about 3-4 months pregnent with me(and he new). i have meet him once only becaus my grandmother wanted me to and I did not want to hurt her. That was the first and last time I have talked to him.

Katey. thats exactly like my story! i mean my dad paid attention to my sister but not me! i couldnt handle it and could never put it into words! thank you for doing it for me!

I just wanted to say that my father walked out when I was four. I never see him, I've inherited his anger, rage, stubborness, ignorance and inconsiderate attitude. Up until this past Dec. I was a mess and tried committed suicide because I've the emptiness I felt. Now I've learned that I don't have any of his traits and that I can only control my own actions and attitudes. I'm a better person and the way your dad affects you, is similiar to how my "dad" affected me. I hope your life will offer a point where you can just put himin your past and be happy. it took me 17 years and lots of therapy (LoL I'm not crazy!) but I'm finally happy without him in my life!

Kimmie

I really like your poem. You showed your true feelings and you almost remind me of me. Tis a good poem.

Adrienne

This poem is exactly my life! I have a step-father who is exactly like this and my biological father is this way to. It is so true!

rebecca

i totally relate to this my dad left me when i was just a baby and there are all kinds of questions i want answers to but he's never around for me to ask him i really like the poem losing a father is one of hardest things that a daughter or son will ever feel

Ashley

This is such a great poem it reminds me of my dad because he doesn't really care for me. And i never can forget him for not being there for me. This poem is outstanding! Great job Katey!

I give this poem 5 stars! I had a dad that wasnt around much so I can really relate! WONDERFUL WRITING!

Chey

Mine walked too,it's a hard hill to climb when you are too young to understand WHY?All you can do is deal and be a much better parent yourself!

N.G.

But i know how bad it hurts.Im 14 almost 15 an the only parent that has ever stuck by my side is my dad My mom is the one who i think this pome would be about in my life. She never cared for me but my older and my littler sister she was all ways there for. Anyways that was a really good pome!

COnnie

I loved it there's alot of Fathers out there that should read it before it's to late.

Patricia

A wonderful poem that touched my heart, its very close to my childrens feelings for there dad

lisa

Thank you....I have a father that is very similar, reading your poem has made me see there is some unforgiven pain in my life. I wish you the very best in life. Take it form someone who is much older.. you are a very smart person.

Very well written, its almost like its my life.

Adara

I liked it because it was outright honestly, something that is very hard to find these days. I felt for the author because a young girl this age should never have these feelings. My thoughts and prayers go out to her.

Ashley

I loved this poem it hits really close to home. I think every girl who has ever had troble with her dad should read this poem.

Autumn

I am 13yrs. old and i can relate to this peom so much.. it's sad and it shows alot of feelings,but the writer i respect for that, because she let out of of her feelings and i am lucky that she has shares them with the whole world so i could get a chance me to read them.. thank you, autumn

Melissa
