MY OWN AFTHER DOESN’T WANT TO COME TO MY GRADUATION
JUST ONCE I’D THOUGHT HE’D LOVE ME
JUST THIS TIME I THOUGHT HE’D PUT HIS EGO ASIDE AND SEE THE MALE I WILL NEVER BE
I CAN’T BE WHAT HE WANTS, FOR HE DOESN’T KNOW THE RAIN INSIDE OF ME
POURING, DRIPPING WET- CAST WITH SHADOWED GLEE
I WANT SO BAD TO BE HIS-
TO BE ACCCEPTE, TO BE SMILED UPON
YET YEAR AFTER YEAR ALL I RECEIVE ARE EMPTY PROMISES AND BLANK EYES SPEAKING OF A SOUL THAT I FROWN UPON
SO WHEN DO I GET MY CHANCE?
HOW FAR DO I HAVE TO PROVE?
THAT A DAUGHTER IS JUST AS GOOD OF A BLESSING, EVENTHOUGH HE DID NOT CHOOSE.

FINGER PAINT SMILES AND TEA CAKE PARADES
I SMILE AS I WATCH THESE TWO PLAY CHARADES
HE LIFTS HER UP THEN TICKLES HER CHIN
AS SHE LETS OUT A SWEET CHUCKLE WITH A WIDE TOOTHLESS GRIN
“DID I GET THIS LUCKY, DEAR GOD IS IT TRUE?”
I THINK TO MYSELF, SHEDDING TEARS COATED IN DEW
I MET THIS … MAN
SO OPEN, SO REAL-
KEPT PROMISES AND A HAPPINESS THAT IS INSANELY SURREAL
HE LIVES FOR THIS FAMILY, ME AND NEHRIIY –
HE CATERS TO HIS ROYALTY – LITTLE PRINCESS AND I
I SHARED WITH HIM MY LIHT, MY TRUST, AND MY SOUL
AND IN RETURN I RECEIVED A DIAMOND AND FOREVER VOWS HE’LL UPHOLD.
BATTLING A FATHER SHADOWED IS NOT THE QUEST I SET FORTH FOR MY MINERATURE ME
SO I’VE JOURNED PAST EARTH’S END IN SEARCH OF THIS HEAVENLY MAN I’M PROUD TO CALL MY KING
MIDDAY I DANCE UNDER STARS-
AND AT NIGHT I SHINE AGAINST THE SUN’S RAYS
MY HEART IS AT PEACE NO LONGER FILLED WITH RAGE
NOW MY BODY NEEDS REST-
AS I PREPARE MY SKIN AGAINST HIS CHEST
I SILENTLY CLOSE MY EYES
INHALE,EXHALE, BREATHING HIM IN WITHOUT CONTEST
MY MIND GOES BLANK
LETTING MY ANGER FLOW AT SEA
I’VE FOUND MY LOST MAN..
JUST THIS KING AND ME
