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..

It touched my heart to its core to read this. The emotions and the thoughts of a child grown up in an environment without a father are deftly and concisely expressed here in your poem. The simpler it is, the stronger are the feelings that it conveys.
Well written! :)

There are a lot of people who grew up without fathers, but it is true that those who did grow up with fathers will never know how it feels. This is a great poem, very emotional. Thank you for sharing.

its good that you are so optimistic. It is very difficult to find good in bad things, happenings and situations. But at the same time the fact that we learn from hardships can't be denied.

This is a great poem. I can relate to this poem because I
didn't have a father growing up, and I know how hard it
can be, but like you, it has made me a stronger person for it,
and love can be found.

Nice. You put so much emotions into your writing so you should try a hand at rhyming. It'll make your poems even more wonderful. Love the poem.
