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.
