Dearest Father, I Don'T Hate You

Dearest Father, You gave me your blood, Then you checked out of the situation. I was a truth to be told, But never to hold. I used to ask why? And now I don’t care? I can’t accept anyone but you, But I can’t accept you either. How I hated you for the hole you left! How I hated you for the things that you did! Why even try? Why waste the time? I sit here thinking that I’m nothing, Because you didn’t want me. I come to realize, You’re nothing to want. You’re nothing to yearn. You have no respect to earn. Dearest Father, I don’t hate you. I pity you.
