Hey Dad, I really hope you're reading this right, and I would like for you to know I tried to kill myself twice. I was tossed into the world with no word of advice, without a better way out. I felt like ending my life.
Seen and not heard the unwanted child
Mind uncultivated left to grow wild
Blood, Scorn, Pain, the family shame
Simply a bastard is all it will remain
The black pile of steaming excrement in the pure fresh snow
Tell me,
Tell me how whole we are
An unbroken family unit, no longer bent on space between calls.
Remind me how intimate our ties are
Forged by your flights of anxiety and his fights with insanity.
