MaybeIfTheChinHairsWouldGrowOut

I don't think she looks like me, but when I look at her, I see myself.
At this young age, she knows, but does not realize, what's not there.
Subconsciously, she is drawn to the those that remind her of someone she doesn't know.
Although our situations are different, the outcomes are the same.

I don't think she acts like me, but when I watch her, I see myself.
She wants attention.
She wants the praise.
She wants affection.
She wants the love-
of an invisible male.
A missing father.

I hope so fucking hard-
that she doesn't grow up unknowingly yearning for the male attention she doesn't receive at home. 
It will lead to heartache for everyone. 

Maybe it's time I put my man clothes to good use....
