It was in 1996, when the world has turned me down,
Looked around, but there was no single soul to be found,
I was a young child, lost and baffled in the woods,
Had all the bad days, but couldn’t find any goods,
I was taught to be a survivor, and find my way home,
Couldn’t show my fears, so I pretended to be strong,
Deep down, wishing that my father came along,
Smelling the scent of his strong cologne, he used to put it on,
We were the perfect homegrown, until he left to a place unknown,
Wondering why he would leave us in this cold mess,
So I went on a journey to find his new address,
Walking barefooted, hungry and feel less –blessed,
I wrote words to express and release all the stress,
But none of these words seemed to make me relax,
Dear Father,
You told me “anger is for the weak, and patients build strengths”
If anger was a measurement, no one in this world would know my length,
Daddy I need to confess, I never cried on the day of your death,
Didn’t want to make you feel sad, so I instead toke a deep breath,
You left a mother full of tears and aches,
…and siblings with full of regret and heart breaks,
I was the youngest in the house, so you kept me from harm,
If jealousy would arouse, you would keep me in your arms,
Now, I spend most of my times in my room, in my bed,
With cold feet writing words of art, under my blanket,
I gave money out to the poor, so God would help you more,
Prayed five times, so God would open the heavenly door,
I know many continue to adore, how you gave them a life to live for,
That’s why I love you daddy, and I wish you could see,
How a daughter you raised, turned out to be,
Don’t worry aabo, I’m still aiming for the number seven,
So Insha Allah we meet, in the highest heaven,
Sincerely Yours,
Your ever-loving daughter
