What did they raise? A liar, an introvert, someone lost in trust and daddy issues, someone who’s stopped smiling, just a smart, scared creature trying to fix itself. And I still try. Maybe that’s not what they wanted, but it’s what I became because of them. Because of screaming, impossible expectations, and never being enough or being too much. Or maybe just a daydreamer who wanted something different. Am I wrong to dream?
