Someone Strong

This story is about a child who doesn't have a father...still fights with life and get our it:)

This is perhaps the hardest part of growing up without a Father… 

I have to do lot of thinking,

make a tough decision everytime.

Everybody does feel sorry for me..

but no one feels the way I do

My Mom took very good care of me and my sisters, 

I watched her struggle for too many years 

just trying to keep food on the table.

We managed but I never want to be put in a situation like this.

where I am forced to do the things that i never wanted.

A fathers love can't be given to me from anyone no matter what. 

A lot of times I try to think about who I would be if I did have my father around 

and I honestly dont think I wanna know.

I like who I turned out to be.

I like the fact that I had to struggle to get to where I am. 

I like the fact that I had to endure some hurt and pain ..

Now I am Stronger because of it.

I'm happy to say that a little while ago Me and Mom did have a terrible relationship 

and today I am happy because more than anything, today I can call her my friend. 

So living without a father did not turn out to be so bad after all. 

Am I affected by it today? 

Yeah I am.

I am in search of that type of love but at the same time 

I know that everyone cannot give that genuine love that a father can give

I can only say..Be strong in life

you never know what is next...

This is sad and sweet.. bittersweet and honost, it is hard growing up without a father. I was lucky enough to meet my real father when i was 14yrs old.. He didn''t walk out on us, my mom just hated him so much she wouldn't let him be a part of our lives.. This write really touched my heart.. It is hard growing up without a father.. I think it is beautiful..

A very touching poem; made me think about all the fatherless children in the world. I'm sorry you didn't have that father figure in your life. It's hard for a mother to raise her children alone isn't it? At the end of your poem, you and your mother were drawn together to being a new cycle of son and mother love. Well written

[Miss Sally Sunshine]

This is such an amazing poem. Emotion filled, but not to much that it seems fake!!! Fabulous job!!!

Amazing...I'm speechless. It was truly a poem I needed to read. I want to be like this strong person, because right now I am inmy weaket stages of enduring a difficult father. It's not similar to losing one or never having one around, but it contains pain, lots of it. Thank you for posting this, may peace be with you.
