Letters From the Sons Pt 2

Dear dad, I'm only 14  Diagnosed with a disease  That was eating deep at me  I suffer from depression  I always cry myself to sleep Mom tried to kill herself  Devil let my family be  Dear dad  I'm only 13  Anger out burst  Scaring all the other teens  Bullied in school  I slowly went insane  Plotted my revenge but it only brought more pain Dear dad  I'm only 12 now My heart feels weaken I barely see u on the weekends You had another son  And now what's done is done  Back then I was number 2 so I'll never be number one  Dear dad  I'm only 11  At times I wanna die  I do not understand why  Whenever I would see you I would always run and hide  I was truly scared of you  They just thought that I was shy  Dear dad  Now I'm only ten  Already I'm being judged by the color of my skin The black kids call me white and the white kids call me black Identity crisis  Can u help Me get on track  Dear dad  Now I'm only 9 When you would get to see me you would never spend the time  U would drop Me at a addicts house  Where she would snort her lines  Have sex with random men  While we would play outside  Dear dad now I'm only 8 The babysitter is abusive  This wasn't the first time I was rapped  You would leave me with strangers  To go ball or out on dates  This the reason now and 25 I'm filled with all this hate
