An Open Letter To My Father

I know you don't think about me 
But I always wondered why you left
Maybe you never cared 
That's probably it
Why did you waste everyone's time?
Just to walk out and leave? 
What kind of man does that? 
Just walks out and leaves their wife and kids
Not a good one in my opinion
Screw you
I don't need you
Don't worry, I stepped up
I took care of mom and Cassidy
You never did 
No, you chose violence instead of love
I'm happy you left
I am no longer bitter
It has taught me not to trust too easily
And for that, I thank you
