Dear Dad


Dear Dad,

Are you upset with me, because I grew up wrong?

Are you upset that I am Mentally ill?

You haven't spoken to me in so long.

But I love you, still.

Are you mad that I couldn't give you the daughter you dreamed of?

Are you mad that I can't go home?

You yelled at me because I said I didn't feel loved.

Your house isn't my home.

But I love you, still.

Do you hate me because of your wife?

Do you hate me because I can't live with you?

Do you even want me in your life?

I don't know what to do.

But I love you still...

Do you love me?
