Thanks Dad

Why are you surprised to hear the things I do,
You raised me,
Bullied me,
Battered me black and blue,
Don’t be surprised when I turn my hate on you,
You failed me,
Abused me,
And now I’m messed up too.

I love this poem, because my specialty is working with the ones who have survived the angriest, meanest, nastiest adults who taught them how to not trust, not love, and not hope. So well done, Warren. BRAVO!
