I found out today That my father has more to my past I was only 10 months old When he abandoned us
My oldest sister was 11 She hated him for breaking her trust My other was 5 or 6 And she had a real fuss
He didn't call for weeks My oldest overly happy For him out of her life While the other couldn't cope without him in her life
My oldest grew up And learned to love While my other, Was given push to shove
My other sister, Marylin her first name Changed everything about her Since my fathers little game
Joee, we call her Is now approaching 20 And finally learned how to love After being heartbroken plenty
When my father would call Say he was coming to see us She'd get ready an hour before Then wait until he came back to regain her trust
But he never came Leaving her shattered She was so young And was life-long battered
I feel for her now After her dog being put down And our grandfather dying I'd have a hard time not drowning
She once turned to drugs Right behind her church No one gave a care She "always lurched"
At one point, she didn't talk to anyone None of her family or friends We all thought This might be where her road ends
But she turned back around After being so heartbroken So beat with Pent up emotion
Shes been through a hell of a lot Given up plenty too Now she regrets Not sticking to it like us few
But I believe her story More than most Because now I'm growing up the same way Except for instead of my father, it's my moms post
I understand where she came from now Why she was so distant It now makes me strive To be different
I'll go to college Unlike either of my sisters Actually get a degree So I can do what I love with all the perks
I admire them both For keeping on going Even when our father Had abandoned us, not at all loving
My mother even paid him once Just to take us the park He was so resistent Never wanting to go on this embark
I don't remember But everyone else does I'll keep going for you all Because you inspire so darn much.
