I know how to deal with you now
How to handle your fragile masculinity
How to say what I want to say
Without giving you something to use against me
I know this isn’t how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how family’s work
But because I know that
I know that mom will always take your side
I know she doesn’t mean it
She doesn’t realize how you treat me is different than how you treat her
I know I shouldn’t have to watch my words
I should be able to tell you anything
I should be able to be happy when I finally see you after forever
But I find myself happy when your gone
I can’t explain it
I love you
But I don’t like you
And that’s how it’s always going to be
Because you don’t like confrontation
And I don’t like when you hurt me
Dad,




























Please stop hurting me
