Dad.

Father.

Which one do you want to be?

I fear that you wouldn't like what I thought of you. I fear that you'd punish me for it. I'm almost eighteen. I shouldn't shake at the sight of a belt or a stick found outside. I should wear a belt with a tuxedo for a beautiful, blonde girl in a prom dress. I should throw a stick at my golden lab during a game of fetch. Not tremor. Not quiver.

Why can't I speak? Why do I croak, crack, and cry instead?

And still, I love you. How come I never hear those words back?

Not from you.

Not from anybody.
