I came into this world,
Your one and only.
You left me to Mom to take care of me.
You wouldn't hold me when I would cry.
I got older,
and you got remarried
To a woman who bared three more kids for you.
Your words became abusive
and you blamed your mistakes on me.
You still wouldn't hold me when I would cry.
I am an adult now,
and a stronger one since you tried to break me down.
While everyone else thinks you deserve Dad of the Year,
I know your phony antics.
I also know now that I don't need you to
hold me when I cry.
But I thank you for distancing yourself
because when you did,
I learned I could stand on my own.
