"The best things in life are unexpected-because there were no expectations" - Ely Karmarov


I'm just writing to say
I'm sorry for what I've done
I'm sorry for all the pain
And making you wanna run
None of it's your fault
Not a single blow
You're really a great kid
I don't know that though
I just know what's in the bottle
And what my dad did to me
So you did nothing wrong
It's the way I was raised ya see
So please don't take to heart
What I did as you grew
You're really a great kid
I just wish I knew

The author's comments:
So obviously this is written from the standpoint of an abusive parent. I really don't know what exactly brought this on, because it's been a while since I wrote it, but I remember I had read something about a child blaming themselves for their parents beating them which got me depressed and I guess this just sort of came to me.
