Dear Dad,
First of all,
I'd just like to start by saying this:
Thank you.
100%, truly honest, genuine
Thank you.
After all I've yelled, whispered, screamed, muttered...
I'd just like to say, "Thanks."
Even after everything-
The times you shook the walls with your voice
The times you made me cower in my closet sobbing
The times you left marks and made me hide them
The times you stole my emotions
The times you took everything away from me
The times you made me feel inhuman, like an object
The times you told me I was selfish and I deserved it
The times you made me fear the end of my life
The times you made me welcome the end of my life
Thank you.
After all you've yelled, whispered, screamed, muttered..
I'd just like to say, "Thanks."
Thank you for being the worst version of yourself
So I could find the best version me.
Sincerely,
Me
