Warning: Adverse Side Effects Dear dad, Im writing today a letter About the life Ive lived away from home. Its been a beautiful roller coaster Ive gotten on into the world, Despite my origin My departure My forceful separation from Most of my loved ones Thanks. Ive grown stronger Then I was at 16 Bright eyed and naive When I started drug use Before understanding who i am And what demands my attention in life Ill never forget, but bedgrudgedly forgive Your lie to the police Your manipulation of family court As I sat in shackles Before i ever touched heroin A week after i tried to kill myself Ill never forget the beauty of leaving the hospital Running away to new York city The vast fields of central park The acid and the upper east side. Ill never forget being acquitted of all charges Not guilt of assault Yet stuck in limbo An orphan Ill never forget Patterson, Living with 39 dollars a week to eat with. Nights homeless Nights sleeping in dunking donuts Nights sleeping on school rooftops Nights spent sleeping in the factory. Nights my heart broke Nights I felt abandoned Nights I drank to forget Nights I snorted heroin Nights I smoked crack Nights I rued opening the safe To get my adderall back Nights I wanted to tell everyone You abused my medicine And smoked weed just like me But lived in hypocritical denial. We havent spoken since. Its been a year. Youre still lying to your family Financially ruining your children and wife You tried to kill me with homelessness. I have a 3.81 in school Michael Im going to be an engineer Despite you being a dad You were never a parent.
