To my younger self...

I am sorry that in your younger years you went through a lot of pain.
I am sorry that your daddy disappointed you, and your tears came down like rain.
I am sorry that he touched you inappropriately and you were afraid.
I am sorry that he wasn't the daddy that made you feel safe, go ahead and cry sweetie, it's okay.
I am sorry that when he left, he never said goodbye.
I am sorry that the monster he became, he still had made you lie.
I am sorry for what he put your little body through.
I am sorry when you felt completely helpless, and alone, you were the victim because he knew the things he was doing, he shouldn't do.
Well I can tell you that things get better for you.
He passed away at 60 and you were just fourteen, he couldn't hurt you anymore and the memories you had were few.
Maybe you suffered many years of abuse but at least you can breathe again.
You will someday have children of your own.
I know because it's about me, and I am your older self saying you will never be alone.
