Daddy Issues

I would like to dedicate this to my father.

The man who made me who I am today.

Strong, independent, and unable to trust any

man who comes into my life.

promise after promise, broken.

Like my heart over time.

My own father couldn't love me.

I blame him for the unloved feeling that I've

become used to.

I blame him for the absence of self-confidence.

I blame him for the scars that rest on my body.

He couldn't, how could I?

How could you?

You, who I would give the world to.

You, who I would do everything for.

Yet I push you away.

Before you can damage my already frail heart.
