Dear Dad,

by PlasticSmile   May 27, 2011


I used to be 'Daddy's Little Girl'.
I used to be perfect in your eyes.
I used to make you proud,
But now I know that life is nothing but lies.

I try my best to make you happy,
You try your best to remind me I'm not good enough.
I hope somewhere in your heart, you still love me.
Even though I cry, and I'm not always tough.

Do you remember all the laughs we had?
Do you remember me getting ready for prom?
How about the days we'd talk for hours?
Or the nights we just had to escape from mom?

I'm sorry I'm not 'normal'.
I'm sorry I didn't follow your plan.
I'm sorry you'll never accept me.
I'm sorry that I will not marry a man.

I know you don't approve of me,
I know you feel completely ashamed.
I'm sorry for disappointing you Father,
I know I didn't go in the direction you had aimed.

But one day I hope you realize,
That I didn't choose to be this way.
I can't help who I fall in love with,
Dad, I'm sorry you hate me for being gay.
