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
