Dear Dad
Dear Dad
I listened to a song
About a man who hated his dad
It got me thinking
I WAS JUST A BABY!!!!
You messed up the first three years of my life
You stole every form of innocence that I had
I’m so happy that you were gone when India came along
You didn’t get a chance to break her
You didn’t get a chance to touch her the way you did to me
To ruin her innocence
To exploit her in any way you could think of
Though you ruined my life
Though I didn’t have a chance to put up a fight
I WAS JUST THREE YEARS OLD
I forgive you
I don’t blame you any longer
I don’t have it in me any more to hate you
I’m so happy that I found a family that loves me
And hopefully you can see the wrong now in what you did to me
Hopefully you can find it in your heart to forgive yourself
I wish that I had got the chance
To see the side of you that wasn’t all drugs and anger
To see what you were like before
I just want to know my dad
Is that to much to ask
