    Denials of denied daughter
    Yo, I've been in denial....for so long.
    For me, my momma had to be strong.
    How could my daddy leave me?
    What did I do wrong?
    I was torn in half as a newborn.

    There was nothing I wanted more in this whole world,
    For me to have a father, and be his baby girl.
    Being a daddy's maybe laid me in a cold grave.
    How could a man not love a gift that God gave?

    It wasn't till the age of five,
    that I realized
    what I had been missing
    my whole life.
    I could never blame my momma, she could of left too
    but she didn't
    So I'm going to blame you.

    I've denied being angry and hurt inside.
    Suffering motion sickness, and it's been slow ride.
    It was like my mom was a oyster, without a pearl inside.
    I'll be denied 20 times, next Dec. 29th.

    I have a lot of blessings I can count.
    but the hole inside of me takes up a greater amount.
    I know I'm alive because of God, no doubt.
    but I'll never know what
    being a "daddy's little girl" was all about.

    I don't know what to say. It's like I wished my daughter wrote this. They are 14 and 10 and there Dad left. I've raised them. To me it's the best I've read here. I relate. Especially when I see my girls look at what other Dad's are when they don't h

    I keep telling these niggas (ignorant men) stop leaving our children. we are scaring, no tearing, no ripping apart. Humanity. I hope ur birthday present takes that pain away. no the life and the forgiveness u embrace takes that pain away.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
