Why...

A Poem by Breara

I wrote this for an assignment in my Junior English class, for my biological father.

Why is it you weren't there?
Why is it you never cared?
Did you think about me
And who I've become without you?

Do you know what I've been through?
And that I try not to hate you?
do you know what you missed
In the sixteen years you have been away?

Would you even care if I tried
To tell you of all the laughs that
You couldn't share?

Why don't you answer these questions?
Why don't you tell me the truth?
'Cause, you know, through it all,
I love you
