A Note Tto Father
A Note Tto Father
You told me it is a beautiful world Father.
You promised me I will see good things and meet kind people.
You said there will be friendship, love, and honesty.
You said I will never be lonely, hurt or bullied.
Father...where is this earth you told me about?
I gave my heart but it was trampled upon.
I extended my hand but it was laughed at
I offered my shoulder but it was shrugged aside.
Father, where is the kindness you promised I will find?
I was lonely, they called me 'Attitude'.
I forgot to smile, they said 'Rude'.
I spoke my mind, they said 'know it all'.
Father, do I have to wear a mask here?
Ask, you said Father…
But...they don't hear my voice.
Call, you told me Father…
But...no one answers.
Give, you advised me Father…
But...they never stop to appreciate.
Is this the Earth you bragged about Father?
Your very best creation?
Your reflection?
Have they failed you?
Have I failed you?
