Father- You were so many icons: The Chief to me. My ***** Harry. The Chris to my Gordie. An Alexander Supertramp. The Rick of Casablanca. Father- You were so many nouns: Protector, Guardian, Hero, Breadwinner, Rapscallion. Father- You were so many adjectives: Funny, Caring, Interesting, Strong, Adventurous. Father- You were my biggest downfall: Five times I’ve seen you cry. For me, always baseball games. Three school events attended. Too many addictions. One ruined childhood. Father- You were so many villains: Jack, the dull boy. Gollum, with your own Precious materials. Michael Madsen, every time. Keyser Soze. The ego of Marsellus Wallace. Father- You were so many roles: Liar, Gambler, Alcoholic, Promise-Breaker, Black hole. Father- You were so many problems: Unreliable, Restless, Invisible, Hopeless, Cold. Father- I am what you made me. I am evil and broken. I am cold and emotionless. I am restless and relentless. I am insane and dark. I am conflicted and confused. Father- I am everything you aren’t. I am everything you are. I am nothing good. I am nothing inside. I am a part of you. I am because of you. Father. I wouldn’t be without you. But I would have been better off.
