Dear Dad

Kaden Hudson

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

  • Poetic Dan

    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.
