26/F/New York Aime-toi d'abord.
Just talking about you makes my heart flutter, my smile go from ear to ear, my stomach does flips with the butterflies, but most of all, my eyes sparkle when I talk about you.

Looking at you with the happiness Your eyes show your happiness Your beautiful smile lights up a room It lights up my world When you smile I smile You can always make me smile just with your smile

Your Smile
How could you! You showed your true self I'm not angry about that I'm angry about how you handled everything How could you! I thought you cared You LIED! You Manipulated Me! You Blamed Me! HOW COULD YOU!

Anger
You saw a new toy The toy felt confident You had the new toy The toy was yours You loved that toy The toy started breaking You didn't like the toy The toy felt like trash You left the toy The toy broke more You didn't care The toy wished they were new again

The Toy
You watch time pass by Seeing your friends getting married, having kids, and owning homes While you sit in your childhood room cheering them on As you envy them because you want to be there. You look around at your childhood room trying to make it feel more you All you are doing is avoiding the issue at But you're scared Scared of stepping out into the world. You try changing your style from the emo phase to the boho kings/queens Spending all your money to see what calls your name the most Questioning everything you wear You cry looking at the little white dress you're wearing Wishing it was the dress that was saying the words 'I Do.' Hoping that the feeling of insecurities leave your body It doesn't Not until you are ready to step out into the world Until then you cry while you wear a little white dress.

Little white dress
Have you ever wished that your life was different? Wished you didn’t have the past that haunts you daily, The disappointment in your parents’ eyes, Longing to fit in but knowing it will never happen. “Make a wish” they say every year on your birthday, You wish for the same thing every time To be acknowledged for your achievements. How many hoops do you have to jump through? 10? 20? 50? What happens when there are no more hoops? Then what? Nothing but a wish.

Dark Times
As December rolls around the corner seeing everyone slowly putting up their decorations. She can almost tell that... that this year's holidays are going to hurt more. She wishes that she could feel some holiday joy, but instead she feels pain and agony. She wishes she was in hiding during the time of the holidays. Alas she can't. She has to deal with the nonstop arguing of who is getting her for what days, the what are you getting her? No, we're getting her that! and the worst one possible, bet you wish you were with your other parent? Said to say, Not everyone likes the holidays. Don't assume that everyone has an easy life, some people just want peace and quiet during this time because she is dealing with the depression and pain. It doesn't mean she won't be happy for everyone else... but on the inside, she is crying and wishing to be in bed. Crying to know that her childhood turned a child's favorite holiday into a yell off. She just needs the holidays to be over to go on with her own life again.

Holiday Pain
Please stop saying you’re the best father in the world, because you’re not. You’ll be another girl’s first father daughter dance. I love knowing someone else could be your daughter. But hey, it’s okay because I can just watch from the sidelines. It’s fine, I’ll cry from the pain of not understanding on, what I did wrong to lose you? To find out that it wasn’t my fault, yet you choose someone else’s daughter before your own. That’s okay. I’m not mad. I’m confused on what to do next, like do you think I will invite you to big events in my life? Do you think I will tell my partner to ask for your blessing? Do you think you will walk me down the aisle? To answer all those questions with one word. No. No, you won’t be there, you don’t get to come and go when YOU please. That’s not how this works anymore. It’s my turn to say the truth, you’re not around in any way. Communicating takes two, I shouldn’t be the one to start everything; I shouldn’t be able to remember all the bad moments under your roof. I shouldn’t feel like were a horrible father to me, but guess what? I do. Can you be able to explain why I cry when I think of you? No? Because neither can I? I make friends with people that act more fatherly than you, why do I have to find replacement fathers? I shouldn’t have to. Whenever someone talks about their father, I just want to scream because I have nothing good to say about you. I’m sorry, I know it hurts but look at my side of this. I’ve been fighting with the idea that I can have you in my life. During this time, my answer became as clear as water. Say goodbye to your daughter, because she isn’t coming back. Bye Father.

Waking up to want to sleep again, sleep away the pain that was given to you. You wish for the pain to go away. You want it to leave, but instead it gets worse. No amount of crying will help, at this point, you are trying to move on. Move on from the pain, the anger that has been festering within you. You just lay in bed, staring at your ceiling feeling like you can’t win, well guess what? You will win and prevail past this pain and anger. You have to be able to move on.
