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
