Letters From A Bastard


  Hey Dad, I really hope you're reading this right, and I would like for you to know I tried to kill myself twice. I was tossed into the world with no word of advice, without a better way out. I felt like ending my life. And this poem might be troubling, but after all these years, I figured I'd let you in. Too bad you ain't around much.
