I Feel Broken Inside

Truth About Dad

I once thought you were the world,
Little did I know you would let that world we lived in fall,
I watched it shatter into millions of tiny,
Sharp pieces.
Ugly truths about the real you were slowly admitted,
Times spent together showed how careless with me you were,
Remember that day you forgot me in that bar?
Thank God I knew some people who knew where you were.
All the lies I caught you in,
Forever making it hard for me to see where the truth and the lie end and begin,
Sure,
There were times we had a blast,
Then times when the anger towards you came charging back,
It eclipsed all the fun times we had.
Finally,
I took a step back,
I asked myself if this anger was worth ruining everything about my relationship with you Dad.
I decided to accept the terrible parts of you,
Then to love everything good in you there ever was.
I have never looked back.
