"Hey Dad"


Hey Dad,  how old am i? You don' tknow.

Hey Dad, I know you don't care, but why drugs over your own life and

lifes around you?I'm asking you this,because you're never going to 

realize hoe bad oyu messed up. All you care about is drugs, sex, and money.

And when i hear your sitting in prison, i can't help but laugh. Hey Dad, look

where drugs, sex, and money got you.

You probably never expected this, but what's not to expect?

Look at the scares from you're meth explosion that you failed to seek medical

help for, And tell me you're happy, tell me drugs are worth it, tell me that you're

proud.

Hey Dad, i don't want to be like you, because i can see ohw miserable people like

you turn out to be.

And i have no sympathy for those who are stupid enough to try it.

Hey Dad, i was one and a half, only an infant.

There were three adults in that house,

and all of you feel asleep like me and my twin sister knew better. we were 

found in the middle of the road and put in DHS cutody. and then we were

told it was our fault.

who knew three adults could be so careless and irrisponsible

Hey Dad, i don't want you to help me because you can't even help yourself.

I have a mother who gladly took your place. She raised me as her own, 

she taught me better, she told me about people like you. 

and because of her i have someone to call mom, i have a better chance

to me youre a wound that will never heal, just get worse.

you're cancer, and what every one says about you is true.
