The curse

Wayne Piersall 1978 (United States)



The curse 6/1/22

The curse of the father here at 44 I thought I had beat the curse my father put on me as a kid how wrong I was ! At 44 I'm going to prison Having always been told I was a mistake , that I was gay that  I'll end up in prison like my uncle's , that I will be a nobody, I'm worthless you're bleeping crazy, I thought I'd beat them but here I am so I write to tell you your words can still kill and destroy someone else just like my dad and Satan so think about what you're saying.
A buddy of mine once told me once you never know where someone else's head is. They could be on the ledge and you could be the one that pushes them off so please think. My Dad has been gone now for 6 years and I can still hear all that negative stuff he ever said to me. so please break the curse
