Daddy isn't there

you're sitting in your bed

talking to your shadow on the wall

asking why. am. I. still. here

your mama is gone

and your daddy wasn't here

crying in your bed, asking

why. am. I. here!

you call your daddy, asking for some love

he turns you down, saying

fuck off forever

you throw your phone asking yourself

WHY AM I STILL HERE!?

your mama is gone

and your daddy wasn't there

leaving you alone

like you weren't even his....
