The Saddest Song

by The Ataris

talking to a dear friend of mine made me realized how i missed 2 men in my life. my late brother and my late father. then i remembered how scarred i was when i finally realize that that's my father they're burying. so i wrote a poem.

despite everything, i want you to know that i love you Ayah. it's just that i was young and angry, held a very stupid grudge against you! i was immature and it took me years to really understand what drove you to became the person i've remembered back then. however, you founded your happiness and ma found hers.

thank you for being my father even for a short time. im just thankful even though you were there for only 9 years of my life.
