Mitchell


 

You drink, you smoke ,you skip school.

You try to act like you don’t give a shit but I know the truth.

 

You hide behind the drugs and alcohol to mask the pain and hurt. You are hurt. You have every right to be hurt. You are ashamed and broken. You have no right to be that way.

 

These cruel alterations in your life are not your fault. Two ignorant people made rash decisions and screwed it up for not just themselves but their family.

 

You say you never want to get married. I know its because you are scared. You are scared to repeat what has happened.

 

I cant say I know how you feel. I don’t. I never went through a divorce. But I know pain and suffering. The difference is I didn’t have anyone but you have me and I will never leave you.
