Anyone can be a Father, but Few can be a Dad
September 15, 2015
I am a Dad
I am a father
I love my child
I regret having my child
I don’t care that he cries at night
I can’t stand when he cries at night
I hold him until he is quiet
I hold his mouth shut until he is quiet
I’m going to miss him so much when he leaves
I can’t wait until he’s out of my house
I love my wife
I beat my wife
I know I am a good man
I don’t care that I am a monster
When my son falls I help him up
When my son falls I kick him down into the dirt
When my family cries I cry
When my family cries I laugh
I am a man and a dad
I am a man and a monster
