Dad

Look i'm going to be honest,
I say i hate you, i don't,
I say i want nothing to do with you, i do,
I say you were the perfect dad, but you weren't,
I say the past is the past, but it's not,
I say you were the biggest problem in my life, you were,
You say you would never hurt me, you did,
I say there's no point in life,
There can't be not if for one minute i can truly tell myself the truth of how i feel and what i 
can do to show my true emotions to you.....

Heartfelt emotions conveyed here with honesty. I especially liked the contrats between the hopes and the reality.
