lost

By Daisy Prieto •
I dont know what to do.
Hello, mom. Hello, dad. I love you, always.
I wish I didn't hide my feelings from you.
Maybe I'd be more comfortable in my skin.
I try to find myself in men but I need to find myself in me.
I keep holding on to this idea that my value depends on the presence of a man and I think it's because I could never get my dad to stay.
Why did he leave so much?
I begged and begged but he still walked away.
I'm not worthy of that love.
