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.
