To whom it may concern

you know just who you are

the one I craved affection from

but we fought like in a war

little did I know then

your inner demons and battles

had I been aware, so different 

life would be, to me maybe life would matter

im sorry for the torment

From my end, and any pain

i may have caused and it 

couldnt have helped when 

i’d Find ways to complain

i apologize for not abiding by

the rules you set in place

Convinced you hated me, and

all boys who dated me

i was sure I just took up space

in my thirties you took the initiative 

the time to make things right

instead of accepting humbly

i was petty & continued to fight 

i publicly humiliated you

with no moral objective

now it’s too late & you’ve passed on 

and finally I have so much perspective.

I’m sorry Dad.
