Dear,
Monster/Dad
It's been years. Ten years since you left . You were taken away for doing something I never thought you would do . You hit my mom.
I remember it well . Monsters never seem to go away from memory I was 6.You did that when I was sick and dying. It was two in the mornjng and I remember hearing yelling down stairs .I could see the monster in the kitchen . Anger , hate that's all I could see in you . You used to be my favourite person until the age of 3. Thats when it got bad you stopped coming home on time. You missed birthdays. I didn't know at the time but you were an alcoholic . On the table lay a six-pack of coors light . You were a mechanic. And my tiny little brain was trying to tell me about your tool box. But the monster scared me . I didn't want to see him . So I ran and hid. But then I remembered my mom you were gonna hurt her I know it . So I ran down and grabbed the tool box. I opened it and got a small hammer out. I slid it next to her foot quietly and ran to cry . I new the blue and red lights were coming cause I called them dad I did it. And I cried for weeks because you were gone . And I hate you for it. You left me since the age of three you've been gone. I didn't have a dad so you will always be my weakness. I miss the dad i barely remember who would play my little pony with me . And laugh with me when I felt his beard. The one who would always give me hugs when I was sad. Not the one who caused my tears , who called me names who left me on the store and went to a bar . Not the one who cheated on my mom. So tell me what's it like to leave me behind? And may I ask how did the infamous Ashton Irwin who was destined to be the best father in the world turn into this asshole of a father ?
Well I promise you I won't be like you. I'm hiding the truth though I know I'll get some traits of yours but oh God I'll hate myself for them . Goodbye dad this is my last letter to you know that I remember the truth.
~ your forgotten daughter
