I love you.
I truly love you.
But Dad,
I simply don't understand you at times.
And I hate that, because we are so alike
But yet so different.
Why threaten me in front of my friends over a shower?
Why do you insist on pointing out every physical flaw I have?
I know you love me.
I'm sure it comes from a good place,
But if anything it hurts more when it comes from you.
You don't have to tell me.
I already know.
