hey dad.

just me.

i got my first hardcover today
has my name on the spine.

you’d be so fucking proud.

but you don’t have a clue.

i was pretty much
a collosal
fuck up
took you dying
to straighten me up
by breaking me down.

but i started writing.

to maybe
ease the ache
of a world
that insists
on grinding me
down.

and today,

i got another fucking thing
that i can never
share with you.

seems pretty
goddamned unfair.

but that’s life.

the kids are good
she is fucking amazing
and i

miss you

a ton.
