Dear dad.

When I'm far away from you
It's easy to forget your
Shortcomings                    
Negligence                  
On an emotional level      
It's hard to accept          
That you're the father I have  
But never the one I needed.
I miss you                  
I don't
I hate that
I love you.

  1. This could be my dad. His best legacy may be me trying my damndest to be a better one.

  2. Olie makes a good point. This is confessional and touching JB.
