I don't know my real dad
I never really did
I'm not sure I want to
because I'm not sure what I'll get
I could get a killer
or even a bum
He could be anything
and I'm not sure what
the fact is that
he could be mean
or he could be nice
I'm too scared to ask about him
yet the urge is so great
I want to ask my mom
but I'm not sure how she'll act
I want to ask questions
but for now I'm too scared
that I might find out
who he is
or what he does
right now I like to dream and hope
that I will know him someday
that I will also be able to say "I love you"
and "thanks for letting me have my say."
