Dear DAD

Dear Dad,

Now I know why seeing me broke hurt you so much

why seeing me settling for less broke you

why seeing me shattered tore you

why it always hurt you more

why you always expected from me more and more

why my percentages always mattered more

why you always wanted me to lead the pack

because I was the dream you had always dreamed of

I was never a source of fulfillment of your dreams

but a dream itself

you always wanted to cherish the dream

to live the dream

you always wanted your dream to live

you always wanted your dream to cherish

you always wanted your dream to continue dreaming

you always wanted to protect your dream

from turning into a nightmare

Thank you DAD for letting me

BE a fulfillment and an accomplishment for you
