You wanted her to have an abortion,
You wanted her to kill me,
Your baby.
Then when she almost did...
She didn't,
You left.
So then you try to tell me you care.
I haven't seen you in over a year...
It's coming up on two now...
You took my family with you when you left.
Then he died...
Then 6 months later she died.
My grandparents,
I didn't even know them,
You took them from me,
You took my older sisters,
My nephews,
Everyone.
You don't even call to see how I am.
You don't care.
You never did,
You never will.
So here I am,
I'm facing it,
I know you still haven't.
Almost 16 years,
I'm just now facing it,
Almost 16 years,
You haven't even looked at it.
I'm going to prove to you that I'm more than what you think,
Whatever that may be.
I don't even remember the last time we talked.
I don't really think it matters.
I look forward to the day you realize what you left.
When I was in second grade you never showed up and I cried.
All I wanted was a dad.
I don't know what to call you,
But it doesn't matter anymore.
When I was little I just wanted to play basketball with you using the hoop you bought me,
I wanted us to go swimming and race.
I wanted my father to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day,
Just like the way I'm sure you did with my sisters on their wedding days.
Now I wonder who will be the one walking me down the aisle on my day.
I bet the two of them took it for granted.
But I wanted that.
Now that would just be fake if you showed your face at my wedding.
You wouldn't dream of it,
But when the time comes I think I will send you an inventation,
Just to make you think,
And that day you can finally think about what you missed out on.
Everyone says I'm just like you,
So I assume you're really messed up too.
But since we're SOOOOO much alike I figure you're one that hides how you feel,
That's how we're different now...
I don't hide how I feel anymore.
That's just not how I want to end up.
I don't want to end up like you,
Because I know that deep down,
You're a very unhappy man.
I hope you're proud of me for finally facing this.
I know everyone else will.
But I just have one more thing to say:
(Un)Happy Father's Day.
Just try not to think about me... it can't be all that difficult,
Look how far you've come.
