A Worthless Father


Words that are whispered through prision bars have lost their charm. Your words have no meaning to me now, for you'v enever cared. Those "I love yous" were like the silent wind, felt but unheard! Constantly repeated from your mouth, with no meaning behind them. You said once, you've always cared, but your actions state differently. It's not about giving forth a child, it's about giving forth the support. Being there through their life, not at the end of yours. YOu said you'd take everything back but does that include me? I never did anything unworthy to you, for I was just a child. You were always running away from jail, yet always ended up there. The words, "You're forgiven" tastes like vinegar coming out of my mouth. Nothing will ever change from who you are, so here's my words to you forever, "Goodbye, to a worthless father".

I am 17 years old and will gradaute from high school early on January 17, 2014. I plan to use the scholarships I get to go towards my tuition for Photography school at the Art Institute of Cincinatti. I love to write almost anything from poetry to research papers! I've thought about going into Photojournalism or double Major in Photography and Journalism. I am very outgoing, and almost everything i write about has alot of deep feelings within them! Hope you have a great day! (:
