Dear Daddy

You hurt me
You broke your son
So she could have fun
You say you want a family
Remember that as we're leaving
Next time you treat me like a monster
I'll remind you that you didn't loose her
What's more important?
Your children
Or your girlfriend
But of course you'll choose love
And it's fine, I've had enough
You killed the soul of your only son
You destroyed the hope of your only daughter
You lied to us again and again
You always cause us pain
And when I try to tell you it can be fixed
You can't even see the break it is
I tried to save my little brother
But you say you have it covered
Guess what he said today, as we walked ALONE
He said, and I quote "I hate Dad!"
Did you think that he would have this feeling?
Do you wonder if I feel it too?
To be honest, I should say yes, I do hate you
But I know that in the end, I'll hurt myself
I'm sick of trying to guide you toward a better life
So figure it out for yourself, I'm sure you can do it alone
I'm sick of standing by, waiting for an opening
I'm sick of faking smiles, sick of having hope
You made too many mistakes for me to help with
Now you've made the last involving me
You chose a woman and her children
Over your own flesh and blood
You are not my fatherly figure
And I will not name you as such
Maybe you'll see your wrongs
After I've finally left
And don't think I don't see my own mistakes
But at least I tried to fix them
You let your's grow
And we are family no more
Don't bother remembering my tears
Don't bother remembering my fears
Don't bother with my broken heart
You refused to fix it from the start
And don't bother trying to fix us now
You failed to do so when I asked for the help
Don't pretend this is only fleeting, don't even try
Consider this poem my letter goodbye

Sincerely,
Your genetic mistake
