  • This poem speaks to me. When i was 9 my father had cheated on my mom, on me. On my family. I grew up with out him, learning the roughest way how to be strong. To be a man. 4 years later, i meet my father i have missed so much, that i have hoped to come back to my family. 4 years later, my father has a new wife, his mistress. 4 years later he has a daughter. 4 years later, i was already a man. Thank you Daniel Beaty.
