You took away my joy and stole my laughter
My childhood days and what came after
I’ve let go and its God you have to answer to
What could I possibly have to say to you?
One day you will have to answer for my pain
As I try to forgive you for what is your shame
I’ll never forget what you’ve put me through
Yet I forgave you in order to save myself too
No more trembling in fear I'm not nine years old
I am a grown woman talented strong and bold
Ready to take on the world and do what’s right
There’s no place for you in the rest of my life
So don't for a minute think I'm running away
I choose to stand my ground another day
To me you’re just a sperm donor my mother chose to use
We could have had forever now You Lose

Thank you for the kind words. I read your story and it touched my life and my heart. I never got the chance to confront my father before he died at first I wrote a poem that was not really who I am now. It was filled with hate and anger and I realized I was writing for me not you. Then I thought about you a young woman with the rest of her life ahead and Anger should have no place in it. God Bless you live for the future and put the pass behind you
