A girl expresses anger at her father for not being in her life though she needed him so much.

Where Were U

©  Cameron M. Lawson
Where were you for ten years?
It was because of you I would cry
You said that you would be there
But I’ve heard that lie

Where were you when I needed you
You were at work or gone
I don't want twenty bucks, I want you
But things don’t change with a wave of a wand

But you wouldn’t understand
You were never there
I need you
Not a teddy bear

I wanted a hug from my dad
Not my step-mom
But you left again
And told me to stay calm

I would call every week
And after I would cry
But you wouldn’t care
That’s why I said bye!
Where Were U by Cameron M. Lawson @FamilyFriendPoems

My father hasn't been around for about 8 years now. I'm fifteen in a half, and I just recently found my father. It's hard for me to open up to him, especially since he has a new family. A wife, and a step daughter. I asked him to come up for my sixteenth birthday. I hope he comes. He's not the best of dads, but he is my other half.
