Daddy Mike
Daddy Mike,
What were you like?
You were gone
when I was a very tiny tike.
Daddy Mike,
Was it because of me?
Was leaving me all you could see?
Surely, you knew how much pain there would be.
A little girl needs her daddy.
Daddy Mike,
From abuse and pain
I shed many a tear.
Without you here,
I always felt fear.
Daddy Mike,
Abusive babysitter, playmate,
bullies, and family.
Nowhere for me
to flee.
Daddy Mike,
Why were you
not here?
