There's a girl, crying again <br />Lost, confused, no real friends <br />She pushes away, she's hurt so bad <br />She wishes she could find her dad <br /> <br />He left.3 months ago. <br />'business trip' is what she was told <br />Then she found her mother, crying <br />She drunkenly said 'I'm fed up with his lying' <br /> <br />Now 'gang banger' means her brother <br />She don't see her own mother <br />She's tryin to stay clean <br />She screams 'Someone love me' <br /> <br />Where'd the daddies go? <br />Boys lay around, play around <br />Couln't a man show his kids <br />How to stick around? <br />Where'd the daddies go? <br />What happened to whole families? <br />Why can't we go back to dreams? <br />What happened to the daddies? <br /> <br />There he is, knife in hand <br />No one seems to understand <br />His mom is cluless to his thirst <br />For someone to help with his hurt <br /> <br />He never met his real daddy <br />Had 3 step dads who treated him badly <br />He doesn't know what to say to his mother <br />He's not even sure he still loves her <br /> <br />He wears eyeliner, wears girl pants <br />Plays guitar, listens to rock bands <br />His hair hides his eyes that hurt from crying <br />He doesn't want attention.... he just wants his daddy <br /> <br />Where'd the daddies go? <br />Boys lay around, play around <br />Couln't a man show his kids <br />How to stick around? <br />Where'd the daddies go? <br />What happened to whole families? <br />Why can't we go back to dreams? <br />What happened to the daddies?<br /><br />Gabriella Franco<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-d-the-daddies-go/
