A poem about my father
One person has been with me
My whole life
You may not have been perfect
For the first twelve years of my life
I was scared of you
And I still bear some scars of your doing
That will never fade
But one day
I hit back
And soon after that, you quit drinking
And a lot of my life changed
Instead of two alcoholic parents
Mother was the only active addict in the house
Life became easier
You taught me better
And became a good parent
But still when no one was looking
I was often in the wrong
Then one-day mom left
And I started to act out even more
Then I got arrested
You were pissed
Understandably so
But you helped
I paid for most of my lawyer fees
But you put down the first deposit
And in the end
I came out alright
Now as I begin to ready myself to move out
You show nothing but support
And help me get everything I need
