My dad always makes me feel small,
in more ways than one.
For one thing,
he is an entire foot taller than me,
towering over me like a giant.
For another,
he always makes sure
that I know I am a child.
Duh, I want to be like
Peter Pan and
never grow up!
Where were you when I stated that years ago?!
Anyway,
he makes me feel so small sometimes
and it honestly makes me want to cry.
For example, today,
he told me to make my roasted potatoes.
I told him I didn't wanna and
he just told me what I want doesn't matter.
Gee thanks father, don't you think I know that?
What children want never seems to matter.
We're unimportant.
I mean,
we are just the people who will continue
life on earth and the only people who can save it.
You know, pretty insignificant.
No biggie right?
It sucks to feel
small,
inconsiderable,
unimportant.
