Dear dad,
The last time I saw you I was 18
Im almost 23 now
And guess what, I finally got my own house
And I pay my own rent
And I have my own kids
And im not going to fuck them up the way that you did
Growing up without you was a blessing in disguise
There were times that I missed you, that I cant deny
I wasn't even mad at you at one point in time
But as i got older I began to realize, you don't know a single fucking thing about my life
You don't know how amazing it is that im even still alive
You weren't there for all the times I cried
You weren't there when my best friend took his fucking life
I guess you gave up on me around the age of 5
But fuck you, I didnt need you in my life
There was some dark times
Some pain and some suffering
And the sad thing is, you were there for none of it
You never saw me on my first day of school
You don't even know half the shit that I've been through
You weren't there to wipe my tears or save me from my fears
You weren't there when my peers used to laugh and call me werid
You sat in your nice house with 3 cars
While some nights I would just about starve
I resorted to some things that could have locked me behind bars
But I've moved on
Im a better person now
My kids saved my life
No thanks to your fucking help
I guess the moral of the story is
Im fucking over this
No more sleep will be lost to this shit
Dear Dad,
I fucking quit

Wow! Great piece of empowerment.
I remember this moment and many more after, I truly resonated with the passion and pain of these words.
May you break the cycle to show the person that shines in this writing.
