I remember when I was little
though now it seems to have been just a dream
so long ago I once thought you a hero
then I found you to be just a fake...
How could I be so stupid to believe?
How could I have thought that wrongly of you?
so many questions run through my mind at full speed
How could I have thought you once my hero?
Lying here wondering for hours to come
trying to figure out what might have made me think such a thing
once you were a man who truly cared for us; your family
even though you were not my real dad
I let you take a place to be
Tears running down my cheeks, like the first rain of spring
so many emotions flowing through me, like the destructive winds of a tornado
spinning through me; losing me completely I feel so confused
I do not hate you; yet I feel no love
having lost my trust when you laid that hand on me
having lost my sight to you when you ignored me for so long
Now you lie there wondering why my mom is taking actions against you
think back to the time when you once loved us
maybe you will see the reasons for this time to come
but I doubt you will change; you will only blame as you have been
and all I have to ask you now is...
What happened to the hero I once knew?

This is dedicated to my stepdad. My mom has filed for divorce and I hope one day he will read this. Maybe then he will understand what I am feeling now.

OMG
Okay so let me quit crying first... This is truly heartbreaking and really emotional for me because me and my stepdad for a while didnt get along at all. In fact I hated him. He made me so angry and I couldnt understand why he made me feel that way. I was then showed that in his case, no ones perfect but in yours I see the pain and hardship. I hope to see more from you.
Best of Luck,
Silenced One
