Can you imagine the confusion
When you’re told to runaway from your father?
I was so confused
Why?
He’s my father
I remember for about week
My school routine was really different
I used to take the bus home from school
But instead I had to wait for my uncle
Recess was even different
I didn’t understand
I couldn’t go outside and play with all my friends
I was told if I saw my dad I had to run away as fast as I can
But I don’t know why
It didn’t make sense
Every time I would reply
But he’s my dad
I didn’t realize my life was in danger
Until years later
My mother told me about it when I asked her
He was suicidal and wanted to take me with him
It’s interesting now, When I think about it
All the times before when he didn’t take me with him
But only in death
I was good enough to be with him
