I wish, I wish I was daddy's little girl,
I would have a dance with him; into his arms I'd twirl.
I would have someone to hold me close when I get too scared,
Instead I have to dream about it with my best friend Brittany Baird.
I'm 13 years old. I have a dad, but I want him to be with me. We talk on the phone and we say we love each other. But I want him here in my life. I want him to be on my side when my mom...

I am not the way I used to be.
I am stronger and wiser, as you can see.
Remember my words, my father said,
As he cradled me up and laid me to bed.
Hey, the same thing happened to me. I thought I was the only one. The man I grew up with wasn't my real dad, but I always thought he was. My mom wasn't even the one to tell me that he wasn't;...

Why are you doing this, ruining your life?
The only thing you've accomplished is causing stress and strife
We're all trying to help you with this hard and trying time
But you think we're crazy, it's all in your mind
Wow! Talk about hitting the nail on the head! I am a mom who has relapsed a couple times over the last 6 months. It was pretty bad. I have kids, ages 16, 20, and 22. They have literally been...
She is my mother,
that indomitable, unattainable goal.
A woman of iron and silk and unforgiving praise.
She is the measure of all that
Very familiar attitude from that daughter. I would be willing to bet everything I own that the mother sees herself in a totally different light.
Dear Mom,
You said you'd always be there
But you're nowhere to be found
I can't believe you left me
My story began when I was a baby. I got taken into a family, but my sister and brother (only 1 and 2 years older) stayed with my mom. She had another baby girl 2 years younger than me who...
you were there when I needed you
to catch me if I'd fall
but daddy didn't love me
he didn't care at all
I grew up not knowing that I have a dad, because my dad left me when I was 4 months old and he never cared about me. My mom told me this year, and I looked for him and I found him, but he...
Leaving behind others to take your place,
Carrying on your name, walking around with your face,
Knowing you got left behind,
Wondering what's on my father's mind.
This is my poem. I'm so glad it has inspired so many people.
My dad passed last year, I was able to meet him prior to his passing. Sometimes you just have to forgive people as they do not...
You walked out on us
And never said goodbye
In fifteen years you haven't called
Not even to say hi
This is a poem that made me revisit the pain and suffering I saw my friend go through when her mother and father decided to separate. I could see him slipping into silence and depression....
