Fatherless

Fatherless

A Poem by Tristen Cullison

"
A boy grew up without his father 
Yeah fatherless
A few years later he's a man and he's lost another
Now hes upset reminiscing good times with his mother
Yea it's safe to say he misses her  
Tries to reconnect with his sister
Its too bad she's grown now and shes got a mister
Things were left unsaid, it turned sugar sweet into bitter
All he wants to do is talk
but that relationship is dead and the only thing left is the evidence chalk
He does not know how anyone could relate
In his head he'd like to debate
Constantly worried if he is the greatest
New Iphones yearly is his latest
LISTEN! he doesn't need the biggest thing
OR to be so famous he can find himself on Bing
He does not need the championship rings
Just as long as he flies high and spreads his wings
"Be proud son"
"The job is not finished you'll know when it's done"
"I know it is hard and times are changing"
"But boy don't you ever get to blaming"
"Or self shaming"
"Because it only leads to doubt"
"Hit the mental weights and work it out"
A few last words from a mysterious note 
Found in the back of a closet in a dirty leather tote
A man grown up without his father
He's strong and ready to father his.
