About My Daughter's Biological Father

By Deletha JolliffePublished 8 years ago 1 min read

I hate how you make me feel, and yet i'm inspired by it.

The emptiness and alone feeling, is now replaced with goals and motivation, that you as my father should have given me.

I aspire to be nothing like you, but to have you sit back and watch as i become this amazing young woman.

To do and to be better, not because of you, but in spite of you.

To rise above all the bad things that have been said and done.

You didn't win, and i will conquer!
