You have tied me up.
Locked me in.
Gripped so tight.
I am drowning.
You want me to be a kid.
Forever.
I want you to be my dad.
For once.
But you forced this.
All the lies.
I am happy.
I love you still.
I will fake it.
A smile forms.
My eyes glisten.
It's all for you.
But it's not what I wanted.
You drove me to this.
I blame you.
And not because it is easier.
I blame you simply because.
It’s the truth.
And somehow with that.
I don’t want to lie anymore.
