Letter To My Father

Dear daddy
   Are you happy?
  Do you see me and what is starting to happening? 
    Do you see how good i've been? 
          I know you saw the temptation?
              Yet I never folded I always holded onto my morals first.  
                       What you taught me. 
                         But honestly I need to know 
                         Is he worth pursuing? 
                            Cause I think he is. 
                          I think he's just like you.
                               So talented, smart and protecting
                                       I think he might be good for me. 
                                            I know you probably wanted to kill him when he broke my heart.
                                                   Am I stupid to still want him?
                                                     To think there's something good in the outcome? 
                                                        Dear Daddy
                                                           Are you happy? 
                                                          Do you see me
                                                          Am I ever going to be happy?
