Dad,
I'm sorry.
I couldn't be the kid you wanted, I tried.
I was as much like a little boy as I could have been
But you still constantly said I came out wrong.
I came out wrong.
I came out...wrong?
You tried to be a good dad
But it isn't that easy, is it?
Especially not when you hit me.
Especially not when you belittled me.
And where am I now?
An arrest record.
Two runaways in counting.
A pot head.
A rebel child who fucked you over.
Right?
It's fine though, right?
Because I came out wrong, right?
I am not the child you wanted, I am so much more.
I am the monster you created.
