You'll never know
how much it hurts her
the pain it causes her
that your never there.
Is it her fault?
Did she do something wrong?
She tries so hard
to make you proud. . .
but you never notice,
you cant
your never there
like a good father would be
instead you choose drugs
and while your off
feeling sorry for yourself,
shes here
thinking about you. . .
trying to figure out
what she did wrong.
She's suffering because of you.
And you'll never even know. . .
that your ruining her life,
that she yearns for your approval
(at least show her you care!)
She hates herself
because of you.
By not loving her
you've convinced her she's not worthy.
All the scars?
. . .they're all your fault.
The reasons she cries???
because of you...
And the reason she's bent over
the toilet late at night?
yes, thats your fault too.
Her childhoods wasting away . . .
and its all because of you,
but you'll never even know.
Will you ever even care?
Maybe one day you will care . . .
but its too late now Dad. . .
You have to understand!
why I cant trust you anymore . . .
I cant survive this same old cycle again!
But you'll never even know. . .

So sad this is
Drugs are the ruination of this country and the only way to stop them is intervention get him help how ever you can and if it takes turning him in to get him away from those selling to him then do it .But its never easy honey for the drugs warps the mind and makes them self centered and unable to help themselves . I cry for the young who ends up having to see their parents waste away this way .For it does reflect on them all the times that could have been wonderful instead of so bad. I have a nephew that has been on crack for 8 years now and in and out of cennters witout it helping .He is in jail for a long time now not from them turning him in but he went off the edge and tried to kill someone so either its turn him in before he takes another life or takes his own .You have a lot of responsibility upon your shoulders at such a young age may God be with you always and know I have enough love for you honey to see you through I am here anytime you need a hug or to talk always
