Dear Lost Parents

It's  been 16 years since you've last seen me.  Now I am 17 and I feel sad.  
That's  only because you made me so mad. 
I often  thought  I was a mistake.  God made me  and now I must die.  
Just  please  now,  try not to cry. 
Mom I know  that you "had me" and dad helped too,  and I know  I'll  regret this  but  I hate both of you.  You left me.  Both of you. 
Now as I'm writing I hope you  understand,  mom you're  not a  mother.  And dad,  how  can you call yourself a man?  
I love you both  because now I can see,  I wasn't the mistak! You were!  
I now have a family.  They loved me.  Why couldn't you?  
Why did you hate me?  What did I do?  
Because  mom,  dad,  remember,  I wasn't  even  two
