I awoke to the sound of blue and red sirens
more times then I can count, I have watched them take you away
with the last bit of hope I had left for you
I gave you chance after chance to be the father
you were supposed to be, yet you still chose it over me
leaving me with heartbreak and misery
You made me feel as if I didn't matter
while you watched my heart slowly shatter,
but you didn't care that the family was breaking
all you care about was the drugs you were taking
it's sad to see you haven't changed,
but what can I expect other than your mind games
and its not that I didn't hope better for you its
that I already knew what you would do
its sad to say im better off without you
but what's even sadder is the fact that you already knew
I hope you realize what you have done and lost
oh wait,sorry i guess its never your fault
well let me end it before it becomes a sorrow letter
about me knowing you would never get better

Thank you!
My Father went to jail for selling drugs. He's missed out on most of my life. He said he's going to change, but I don't know what to believe. I don't know If I should be happy, or sad. I have no real connection to him. Hell, I don't even know what's it like to even have a father!
I'm am sorry to hear that I understand what it's like, my father also left me at a young age. He chose his drugs and alcohol over my family so I understand and I'm very sorry because I know how it feels and I hope that you can have peace with that feeling. I will be praying for you
Your wrenching poem is far too familiar for too many families. Thank you for sharing your pain.
Thank you!
Beautiful writing. Thanks for open the window of your heart and let others know in a beautiful way how sorrow it can bring to have unfit parents. My dad was alcoholic too and I did suffer because of that. Mostly because the way he treated my mother. My heart and thoughts are with you.
Thank you so much!
