What disappointment feels like

it was our turn to perform our act,
as we dance the night away I couldn't see my parents in site,
after my fantastic performance I was disappointed that my parents weren't there to see it,
my mom came later then and she said she was sorry I had to get you your supplies it was very important,
important?
more important than seeing yourself children show off their talent?
what a shame,
from then I was upset about to break into tears,
I left back and forth here and there,
because of how sad I was,
I was most disappointed in my father not daring to show up at least after,
no call,
no message,
where in the world was he headed?
later after we went to eat tacos but we were out of gas,
pulling over steady,
out of nowhere mom screamed her head off, then sofly cried,
she was so upset she couldn't make it,
she wanted to be at two places at a time but couldn't,
I felt terrible and wanted to cry,
I gave her a hug and I felt her sadness and pain,
me and my siblings cheered her up because we love her very much,
dad,
I'm still disappointed,
you could've came but you didn't feel like it,
I love you mom,
if we could go back in time I'd know exactly what I'd do❤
