I have daddy issues, it's true

A burden that I carry through

Memories of love that was absent

A father's embrace, I never felt present


Growing up, I yearned for his attention

But he was always too busy, too absent

I searched for love in all the wrong places

Now, I'm left with emotional traces


I wonder if he ever loved me

Or if I was just an obligation to be

A father figure that was never there

Leaving me with a void I couldn't repair


Now, I'm left with unanswered questions

A heart that's filled with misdirection

But I choose to heal and move on

To find love in myself and be strong


Daddy issues may be my past

But they don't define who I am at last

I choose to let go and forgive

So that in my heart, love can start to live.
