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..

Dear Akshat,

Nobody CAN feel the way you do, but I am sure we can only try to imagine what it would be like. And yes, its sucks.....to grow up without a father. We have no control over our lives and sometimes the nicest people get the biggest heartache in life.

I did have a father and also a mother who was not there for me in many ways, and it has affected me all my life. But we do become strong in some ways and go on in life despite of it.

I was cheered to read the last stanzas of your poems where you showed gratefulness at the reunion with your Mother....wonderful!

Take care and thanks for sharing.... ~ Helena :)

Thank you so much for sharing this, I have a similar situation. No father and a teetering relationship with my mother. This poem gave me hope for the future, if you turned out okay I know I can do the same. Great read thank you for sharing and thank you for the inspiration and hope you have armed me with.

A lot of wisdom in your poem. I was raised without a father. Taught me to be a good father. I do my best to do the right things. Sometime bad examples teach us to be better people. I'm glad. You and your mother are friends. People who stood with you in the good and the bad times need to be appreciated. A outstanding poem.
