Where was my dad when I needed him.
As a child thinking he was my superhero but damn that was not how it seem.
I lost him the day he left.
Mom did everything she could and with her I was blessed.
I was so young that I never knew why he left.
Mom got married to another man.
His family hated her so much that they formed a gang..
She thought they loved her but never did she know their plan.
I was 17yrs old when I lost her.
Two days later my aunty introduced me to my father..
In my mind he was a stranger.
Wanted to know so badly why he left.
He came to me nd begged.
I had nothing to say rather than to forgive him.
Lost Dad
