Why did you find me?

Well my biological dad for some reason after years of hiding, found me on facebook. Probably the first of many pieces to come about this.

Years of searching and crying,

Countless days I spent trying.

Trying to find you, to know;

Why did you leave my mom and me?

You left a family alone, and a boy cold.

I pondered this for many years,

Dwelled on this, let it cause my fear.

Wondered will I fail like you;

Become an excuse for a man?

No, I now follow what is true.

Ah, so you found me I see,

And on Facebook of all things.

Now i realized its not you I missed;

Why wasn't it more clear?

But I am afraid now to have you near.

Tell me what you think of how I formed it. It is a very simplistic write I know. Others will be more complex. Please let me know how to improve!

To make it improve.... you have to move inside yourself, chip away at the emotional balance points ,things that drive you stop you confound you hold you together, then let the words form the tone,color,flavor,barb,etc. use what you know well to let your feelings flow,Sailing, the torah, the bible,OSHA REGS, anything that has a language you are comfortable in,sports,cats,flowers etc.of course if you add too many layers no one will understand what you write ,and I kind of like that too some days.

[Sir Joseph]

Thank you!

Someone once said to me 'simple is beautiful' since that day i just write as it comes to me, just said this on reading your comment. i would just say be yourself :)

A touching composition, clearly showing the agony, the clarity, which i guess was the healing process too.. and again the confusion.
liked it.

[Sir Joseph]
