Why

I dont know why i am who i am
I dont know why i dont give a damn
I dont know why i hate to be alone
I dont know why i hate my own home
I dont know why i always have to lie
I dont know why i always wanna cry
I dont know why my patience runs on empty
I dont know why but bitch dont tempt me!
I dont know why i think im so ugly.
I dont know why i love to be funny.
I dont know why my friends are my life
I dont know why i stay up all night
I dont know why i like to stand out
I dont know why when i talk i seem to shout
I dont know why i laugh my problems away
I dont know why bad memories seem to stay
I dont know why i fucking hate my dad
I dont know why i love making him mad
I dont know why i cant stand my mother
I dont know why i have an autistic brother (not in a bad way)
I dont know why i end up wit bogus guyz
I dont know why my dreams could reach the sky
I dont know why i listen to rock bands
I dont know why id rather sit than stand
I dont know why id trade a skirt for some jeans
I dont know why im always so mean
I dont know why i gave this poem a try
I dont know why im always asking why!!!

Everyone Needs Dad

I didn't ask to be brought here
I didn't ask for you
I was created from a love
Between my mommy and you.

Now here I sit with her
Just me and mommy you see
And where, oh where are you
Where could you be?

Not that it really matters now
I have my mommys love
You see, I feel her presence
And her love from up above.

No one needs a sperm donor
Everyone needs a dad
I am guaranteed to find one
He'll be the best I've ever had.

Someone to kiss my boo boos
And wipe my little tears
Someone who will give me hugs
And sing away my fears.

Someone who wants to love me
To live everyday for me
To long to hear those little words
"I love you, daddy."

Now, I know this isn't you
I don't know where you are
But just to let you know
One day I'll have my shining star.

A man who will love me regardless
Who's not like you and ran
I'll be proud to call him daddy
Because he can take it like a man.

- C. Crutchley

Miss Dad

I would call out "Dad"
when was angry, scared or sad.

When I thought Jennifer was hogging you,
you would stay with me like glue.

You'd talk to me, tell me don't be scared,
I could always tell you cared.

When my friends were mad at me you'd stay throughout the night,
you would be there for me and hold me tight.

You were someone I loved that I could call,
you would help me when I would fall.

You'd kiss my boo boo and make it better,
when I went to camp you'd write me a letter.

You would write how much you loved me
and said that with you I wish I could be.

While I was reading I would grin
as I would wish the same back to him.

We would play games for hours on end,
whenever I had a broken heart you would mend.

In restaurants while waiting to go,
we would play tic-tac-toe to get three in a row.

I wish that you would walk through the door,
because I keep missing you more and more.

I know that you are in a better place,
but I am selfish in this case.

I wish that I could have you back in my arms,
to see your special smile and charms.

I miss your smile, your care, your love.
You remind me of a precious dove.

I love you with all my heart,
but you have known that from the start.

I know the world will still go on,
even though my loved one's gone.
