Once upon a black sheep
Author: Unknown
"Do you remember, when I was six, you told me I was a mistake"
you miscarried before me, but I took their place...
"you made it clear right from the start, my life would not be easy, your words of resent, so true and so stark"
"you beat me regularly, often within an inch of my life...but with each time i survived you came back harder, determined with hatred and blind rage, you cut me sharper than the sharpest knife"
"A young boy contemplating suicide, and wishing himself to die, born without love, or emotions, and with no family ties"
"And now, a man I have become, strong, sensitive, and working with the deprived, my own experiences ensuring that in your own childhood, you indeed shall strive"
"Now you seek me out with your welcoming arms spread far and wide, and why, because I have made my mark, a successful Author am i"
"I forgive you my mother and my father, but fold your arms now, hang them by your side, for that little boy you made suffer has long since died"
