I never knew you

But I wanted too

I have your hair, eyes, and nose

And fingers too

I’m just a dark chocolate little girl

Who’s fatherless

In the care of man

Who is not even my father

Did you even know you had a daughter?

I have so much anger build up

That’s why I never let any man get close

Cause when I’m too attached

            I end up hurt

14 years of being lied to about who’s my father

Why do I even bother?

You’re in jail

Waiting for a bail

Because you abuse your very own

The child you will never see grown

I never knew you
