Because of you, I grew.

The poem speaks for itsself.

            

I can’t believe its been almost a year,

Since you’ve left me, I’ve grown,

Gotten stronger, became more of an adult.

Something you will never get to or ever saw,

even when you were here.

 

I got a job, my own money, I’m growing up,

Its scary, its still unreal, you dieing, so surreal.

I got used to you being nonexistent, but now there’s no chance,

No chance to change, what we weren’t,

No chance to change what we could have been.

 

But I guess that is life,

You are born, you live, you die.

When you died, you made me grow,

You helped me realized what to not do as a parent,

Taught me what to not do in my life, when you died,

I grew up, I realized that life is not a game,

Live every day like you won’t live ‘til the next.

You never know when it will be your last.

Author's Note

I wrote it to make myself realize that i got stronger after my father died, not weaker.
