"dad" I meant to tell you #2

I meant to tell you, before you forget;
I remember when you were living at home.
I remember when you used to hurt mom
Yes i remember.
I remember when you ran her over with your truck
you didn't even look back
I remember you would get drunk
and you touched my sister
I hate you
You ruined my life
I remember when we tried to get you to leave
When you held your can of death...
We knew this wouldn't be over soon
You said you would change
You didn't need to see our pain...
When i was young
you used to beat us
i thought it was normal
You lied to me
The first time you beat me
you slapped me
you drowned me
you threw me to the floor
you stabbed me
One day i had enough and ran away
you denied to the cops you hurt me
You said you didn't know why i hated you
you never did anything wrong
Your such a psycho path
We used to call you daddy now we call you Tom
It wasn't fair to us.
It was a while ago...
But i remember when you were my "daddy"
and all the things we did together.
I meant to tell you that.

  1. Wow. Not going to lie this is the most heart felt thing i have read on this blog. I am very sorry to hear about the things that you have been through, but it seems like you have become a strong person through it all. And it is amazing that you can tell us the things that you went through without fear or regret of doing so. Your writing is an inspiration to me, and hopefully all of us.
