Dear "dad"

i didn't want your gifts
i wanted your attention

i didn't want your money
i wanted your honesty

you´re not the one i wished a life with
i just wished you cared

sometimes all it needs is some empathy
no materialistic, no bank transfers, just a dad

but still
i can never forgive

i wish i could
but i never will

This poem it's like from my life. I saw my dad for first time when I was 27 years old. Quiet weird right. He is quiet wealthy man so he always send me some expensive stuff. But that was not something what I appreciate. He was not there when I need support . I don't have any role models. My others fathers were alcoholic or abusers. So I feel very strongly about your poem. You use ordinary words to describe your experience. I really like that. It's very touching writing at least for me. All the best.

Dear reader,
thank you for your review. I appreciate it very much! I'm sorry you had to face such negative experiences with your biological father and other fathers. You may not have had a role model but I am sure by now you know exactly what you do and what you do not want in your life and will do better for sure. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your response. We are sometimes fooled by ourselves. When we repeating mistakes of bad parenting. Sometimes it's hard to regornized what's is my nature and what's is not. I get at my childhood lot of bad examples and punishments. But I trying my best sometimes I win and sometimes I don't. But how singed Frank Sinatra that's life.
