Do you know me !
I have one question I would like you to answer if you can, and I just hope it's an answer I can somehow understand.
Do you know me now or even know me at all, and where you ever there to pick me up when I would fall.
Did you ever read me a good bed time story and tuck me in at night, because I'm confused as why I feel that for your love I have to fight.
Did you ever take me to the park and push me on the swings, or put me on you shoulders to fly me around the room as if I had wings.
Them are the things that I'm dying to know from when I was tiny and or small, but to this day the main question I have is do you know me even at all.
Do you know my favorite color or even favorite food, it seems as every time I come around your in a bad mood.
Have you ever been impressed or proud of something I have done, or do you just see me as someone very dumb.
Do you know the things I like to do for fun, or are you mad at me all because I wasn't born a son.
Have you noticed all that I have done and accomplished in my time on this earth, cause there's times I feel I don't exist and you'll never see my worth.
DO YOU KNOW THE DREAMS I HAVE OR GOALS FOR TIME AHEAD, AND WERE YOU EVER THERE TO CHASE THE MONSTERS OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY BED.
DO YOU KNOW I LIKE TO WRITE AND ITS A PASSION IVE ALWAYS HAD, SOMETIMES I WONDER IF YOU EVEN KNOW I'M HERE AND THAT YOU ARE MY DAD.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF PARENT I AM AND HOW I RAISE MY KID, WITH THE THOUGHT OF NEVER MAKING THEM FEEL THE WAY THAT YOU DID.
DO YOU EVER BRAG ABOUT THE GOOD THAT I'VE DONE, I ALWAYS MAKE IT A POINT TO LET MY KIDS KNOW THERE ALWAYS NUMBER ONE.
DO YOU KNOW I'D GIVE THE SHIRT OFF MY BACK TO A PERSON THATS IN NEED, DO YOU KNOW WHAT MY KIDS EVEN MEAN TO ME, OR HOW I WOULD NEVER WANT THEIR HEART TO BLEED.
DO YOU EVER STOP AND WONDER IF I'M ANYTHING LIKE YOU AT ALL, SOME WOULD SAY THAT I'M YOUR TWIN EXCEPT I HAVE A HEART THAT AINT COVERED BY A WALL, AND SO THAT ONE QUESTION REMAINS THE SAME DO YOU KNOW ME NOW OR EVEN KNOW ME AT ALL.
About this poem
I wrote this to my dad. We have always been distant because we are way to similar and tend to butt heads. I wish that we could have more of a father daughter relationship but don't think that will ever happen
