Deadbeat Dad Poems | Examples


Premium Member Deadbeat Dad

Your age is not a piece 
Of this purple puzzle unique
To your lavished life 

You have cars that you give gas
But you ignore filling up little lad
Or little lady as a dad

So many fathers with less are bothered
Sacred fishing trips 
Creeks lakes in which take a dip

You’ve been selfish and elfish 
Your miniature application of affection 
Doesn’t match or make a connection

Love is an action word
Not just felt and heard
But received with red receipts 

How dare you never call
Never show up to talk
Never walk the holy walk despite flaws

Someone did father you
So you have a clue
What to do

There are men born of sin
Who had much less than
And they are awesome father’s awesome men

Don’t worry he was taught
To love you though you do not
Deserve that which you don’t give freely

You want a trophy
A son for cookouts and parties
When will you figure out you need

To start with an apology and 
A conversation so deep
It erases the negativity

You are forgetting
Your seed is a part of your destiny
You can’t keep running

Deadbeat Dad Named John

Deadbeat Dad Named John 
I know a deadbeat man named John .
Who knew we had a daughter from day one.
Everywhere we had to move he knew exactly 
where we were ,never to have a relationship with her .
Finally that day came she gave him a call .
He did nothing but blame , saying I wouldn't let him 
see her , SHE STOPPED HIM THEN AND THERE !
She let him know how wrong he was . He denied all that
,being her dad, knowing he was from the start.
Oh, how mad I was he saying together we never were .
Made her do a DNA test to try to prove me wrong.
Never asked for child support know what a deadbeat he was.
It's sad so many out there like him , Deadbeat Dads !
A Deadbeat Dad Named John.


Deadbeat Dad Named John

I know a deadbeat dad named John ,
who knew he had a daughter from the
time she was born, everywhere we were
he tried to have a relationship with her .
Finally that day came he gave her a call .
He did nothing but blame ,not getting to 
see her but,she knew the truth . She let
 him know he was wrong as he denied being
her dad all this time now that she was grown .
Oh, how he made me mad as she began to cry,
saying we were never together at anytime. 
After twenty-six years only me to get to raise her so ,
You're a deadbeat dad I raised her alone no help from you .
So many more deadbeats out there just like you
 a Deadbeat Dad Named John.

Angry At My Deadbeat Dad

TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER?!?!
 You said that on a million yesterdays!
 Look at the calendar, it’s laughing at you.
 Dude, are you SERIOUS?!
 You should dress up like a “Father” on Halloween!
 You can’t see through that old mask anymore.
 I must still look like a little girl to you,
 the crying five-year-old you forgot to pick-up from school,
 the hopeful eight-year-old you promised that you'd be right back….
Don’t you know?!
 All of those seasons, all of those missed moments,
 all of the times that Father Time ticked me off,
 placed a “no vacancy” sign across my heart and
 brought me to this sad reality:
 You laid down and made me,
 but never stood up and raised me.
 So, take your bull****, all of that lying ****,
 that tomorrow will be better ****,
 and make your grass greener
 for Easter and
 on the other damn side.
 Hallmark should make a
 Deadbeat Dad card.
 Until then, 
 I'M NOT BUYING IT!

Deadbeat Dad

today I didnt expect this but hey what can i say
im the bad one now so woot woot hooray
im the one who had a child and turned my back on it
im the one who got its hopes up and stepped on it
im the one who never calls on its birthdays until three weeks later
coming up with excuses so it can feel better
but when it tried to leave me i just couldnt let it go
so i did what i know best and grabbed on its hopes
and i stepped on it yet again, im the bad one now so lets not forget
and wow it got crabby but i didnt care, why should i when i was never there
but hey it was a mistake, the only reason why i talk to it so i can continue this game
why should i take blame, it should blame itself, if it never exist i wouldnt be living in hell
it left me finally woot woot hooray now i can live my own life without it in my way
so in the future if i ever see it, i will just continue to walk on by as if it didnt exist.............................
