A Letter To My Father

Why is it after all these years, the pain is still there I've tried to forgive, but I know I haven't Why is it easier to hate you than to care This had a bigger effect on my life than I knew I never wanted to admit it was destroying my life I know I shouldn't, but I still blame you All I wanted was for you to love me Treat me like I was your real daughter You did so many bad things to me All I wanted was to get away, to be set free You hurt me so bad inside I was so young, I didn't understand When you would come home, I just wanted to hide Yout abuse caused me to have this huge void A void I would never be able to fill I hope you're happy, for my life you have destroyed
