Short Story

Today in life we try to avert situations but also try to comply with what we are asked. We all acknowledge that while some are compel without a choice other do have alternative. I for one am very candid and feel that i do have alot to say. If we were to listen to anecdote before our time you will hear about the drastic events that took place all because alot of us were to concise.

FORGIVING MY FATHER.

FOR ALL THE TIMES
YOU WERE ADDICTED TO DRUGS
THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS GROWING UP
I FORGIVE YOU

FOR ALL THE TIMES
YOU WERE NEVER AROUND
NEITHER WAS MY MOM
BUT A BOY NEEDS HIS FATHER
A LITTLE MORE THAN HIS MOM
I FORGIVE YOU

FOR ALL THE TIMES
DESPITE THE HEARTACHE AND CRAP
YOU PUT ME THROUGH
I FORGIVE YOU

FOR ALL THE TIMES
THE PAIN AND ANGER I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE
I WISH YOU WERE NEAR
THE TEARS THAT FELL FROM MY EYES
I STILL LOVE YOU
I FORGIVE YOU.

Vocabulary words

Some parents will not acknowledge that they make mistakes. in raising their children. It can be hard for them to be candid when the damage is already done. But as children we must help them dont avert them, love them be gentle and let them tell their part like anecdote. Some parents growing up as children have no voice back then, they were compel to do things they refused to do. Their punishment would be drastic. We have a alternative now to be the best parents we can be. As parents we must not nag out children, we should be concise when correcting them, using appropriate words to address them. And if we do they will comply with our rules, and stay in school and be cool.
