i don't want to be my father's daughter.
no matter how much i deny it, my face matches his and his eyes mirror mine.
we have our differences, i thank myself for choosing to be a different version of myself.
he runs from his past, he runs from my mother, he runs from me.
my past i face, and perhaps tears will fall, regret will sink in deeply, but I stand in front of it with a stiff lip.
all past mistakes I take as my lesson to change. to change into the best version of myself.
men don't want to change, they'll just find a woman to match their lifestyle.
no matter how identical i look to him, our lives could never be compared.
he doesn't want to work on being a better father, then i won't be his daughter.
