I trusted you to be there for me when I grew up. I trusted you to take care of me, to be there to beat up my future husband when he got too close on that Saturday night at the movies. I wanted you there to watch me grow up. It's a shame I am the only girl in my grade without a father. All you wanted was to drink and smoke and you thought taking care of me was too big of a responsibility. Well open your eyes, you can't have me now. You lost your chance to watch me become the person I am today. You lost your chance to see me graduate and you lost your chance to be my dad. In my opinion you are blessed to have made someone like me. I am golden, but I'm glad you left because if you hadn't who knows what I would be? I could be drinking and smoking like you. I could be dead on the street in a cult war because you have so many drug dealers going in and out of the house. Who knows. But I want you to know you really aren't what made me.. mom is. You put all your weight on her shoulders and she came out the stronger one. I hope you realize how far I have come without you, and how you would've held me back from being this great if your drunk ass would've stayed.
