A Letter From Daughter To Father

One day

I'll be able to fall asleep without leaving tears on the pillow and I'll

no longer seek refuge in the touch of a razor and my

worth will not be determined by your approval or opinion and I

won't stay up late wondering if God loves me

because I'll just know that He does.

One day

I will wake up next to my beautiful wife

long after I've forgiven you and

I will love my daughter

like you never could.

Reading this poem brought memories of the struggle, I have my own mom, regarding her acceptance of me, as her trans-lesbian daughter. Seven years have passed, and I will never walk into her house, with any future girlfriend, to meet her.
