Need me.

I won't beg you
To care for me.

But I crave
That necessity.

But I love
That attention.



Please.

All I'm missing
Is that contact.

All I care for
Is that communication.

All that matters
Is that you realize.



Caring

What's important
Is that you know.

What you must realize
Is that I love you.

Even when the feeling
Is far from mutual.



Strength

But I won't struggle
For much longer.

Because life
Will keep on going.

Because you
Don't have to change for me.
My father and I speak once a year.
I've always wanted more of a relationship with him, but I don't need one.

Though it would have been nice to grow up with a father, I've come to realize that I'm an exceptional person without him. Having him around to influence me would have made me a person that I'm sure I would hate to have been.

Thank you for not being there.

For me, it speaks to my brothers. How I miss them, I always think of them, one in particular, but I can live my life without him and my other brothers too. Here's to the kids of messed up families. Great poem.
