[TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF ABUSE]
Because that is who I am.
Like him,
Like his father before him,
An abusive alcoholic.
I will never be
A good father.
I plan to be
A vile pathetic person
Because he was
Or I could learn from my past
Because he was
A vile pathetic person.
I plan to be
A good father.
I will never be
An abusive alcoholic
Like his father before him,
Like him.
Because that is who I am.

A/n: FYI This is called a reverse poem. I'd also like to point out that I'm safe from the abuser (my now ex stepdad) and I have been for 5 or 6 years now. I just have to deal with the PTSD and the worry that I'll be a bad father one day too.
