Sincerely, Your Lesbian Daughter
A poem
As father and daughter,
we slow danced
cheek to cheek,
hand in hand,
for the world to see.Â
But our relationship isn’t what it seems.Â
As the ultimate act of forgiveness,Â
the grand gesture of love
has yet to be done.
And I cannot welcome myself home
if you have yet to prove to me that
my life is not only what you want to see.
I need for you to truly want
the authentic, complete version of me.Â
Because I’ve missed you for years,
and I’ve endured the pain to lose you.Â
I cannot do it again.Â
You can’t pick and choose
the parts of my lifeÂ
you will be a part of.
I need you whole.
ooooph
That's a pain i am so lucky never to have had.
I hope he reads that and sees you in there.
This hit me in the chest. I haven't experienced this specifically but when I came out as trans things were said and done that I'll never forget and that she can't take back. Thank you for your words. I hope he sees all of you and embraces all of you, soon
