Dear Daddy

Location

Broken home

Broken heart

Torn from the inside out

Just ripped apart

………………………………..

You’re behind my scars

You’re behind my pain

You drink until you’re violent

Without any shame

………………………………

You make a wreak

You cause a scene

You’re splitting mom and I apart

Just right in-between

………………………………

You don’t think you have a problem

But you think you have time

The world doesn’t “owe you a favor”

Just sober up and you’ll be fine

……………………………………..

-Ashley Knight
