Father and Daughter
Father and Daughter
By Chloe Lynch
He taught disappointment. So I learned my expectations.
He taught pain. So I learned about the scars he left behind.
He taught abuse.
He preached that I am worth less than a man. So I became a feminist.
He preached racism. I educated myself.
He preached lies. So my bullshit detector stopped being wrong.
He told me my mom is a horrible woman. So I stopped using his last name.
He told me being gay is wrong. So I kissed a couple girls.
He told me he can do whatever he wants to me.
