Here I am, fatherless.

Today, I wanted to share what I wrote regarding "Divorce". What motivated me in writing this is because I was so inspired when I read the book  "The secret life of Prince charming" . When we read the title, we think it's about love, but it's not. It's something much deeper than that.What I wrote is sort of a story but not really a story. And By the way, this has nothing to do with my dad.(I completely made this up)


Here I am fatherless


       CRASH!!! I hear the plates break on the floor as I see my parents fighting again,my mom sobbing my dad all red with fury. I try my best to make the tears stop and to make all the pain go away. But that's just it.... I try, and I can't make it all disappear. And before I know it, I see my dad packing his clothes, take a cab, and leave. He left me and my mother there, broken.

It's been a few years since my dad left, and here I am fatherless. Why? because my parents got divorced. Whenever I say our parents are divorced people tend to be all mushy and say "I feel so sorry for you" or "Aww, that's too bad". But they don't get it. I became strong. Compared to the small problems of my classmates I've been through worse.

 I see some  children in the park, with their families and I always tend to look at their fathers and how lucky they are. But as I see wives with their husbands I tend to fear for them. Thinking that at the end they'll just leave you someday. And here I am still fatherless,knowing that I'll never feel love from a father.
