My father is not the best man.
He is a drunk, absent, loud, chaotic.
But as I grow older, the more I understand.
While he is those things,
He is also misunderstood, broken, defeated, human
I understand now because the heaviness I feel day after day,
he also feels.
And although we do not speak,
I have never felt closer to him.
