Dear Dad, 

 

You hurt me. 

 

I am truly sorry I'm not the child you had envisioned. 

 

I am sorry your parents couldn't offer you the love that you needed. 

 

I am so sorry that you couldn’t forgive your child for one simple mistake.

 

I am sorry dad. I am sorry.

 

I am sorry no one told you that it was okay for you to forgive me for not calling you when I didn't have the means to. 

 

Dad I am sorry you’re ignorant.

 

I am truly sorry.  

 

But dad. I still love you. 

 

Yet DAD, I am not sorry 

 

Cheers’

 

Yuh Pickney
