Dear Mom,

i know now, mommy

dear mom,

i know now.

i now know why daddy was sad,

why he cried,

why he cursed at night,

why he screamed,

why he ignored me,

why he stopped taking care of himself,

why he just completely gave up.

oh god,

i know mommy.

i know why now.

i know why mommy.

i know.

love,

ann
