A letter to my father
Anger is the emotion that has lived in me throughout the years
Loyalty is a foreign word that has never been fully defined
Infidelities has been your main goal always reaching for the highest number with hopes of proving your manhood
Humiliation best describes how I feel every time I hear something about you and reflect back to all the times you have criticized or belittled me
Disappointed with every broken promise you have ever made me
Despondent knowing that I will never fill that void you have left me with
Struggling with insomnia and self love as 1,000 questions flutter through my mind
How come your love was never effortless or unconditional?
Absentmindedly lost in thoughts of what life could have been being Daddy's little girl
Emotional recovery is where I am at today, understanding that it was never me, that you hold total responsibility for the lack of us and soon I'll find closure

I have a selfish father.. I identify.. Forgiveness is the pill that cures bitterness. Don't let the actions and disappointments of others define who you are.. Be well. N

I can totally relate to the emotions in this poem but towards my mother.
“Despondent knowing that I will never fill that void you have left me with.”
I love the way you describe it.
