Do you ever imagine how it feels when someone says, “I cannot take it anymore. I tried my best but it seems like I didn’t.”

Do you ever try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes? Do you ever imagine how it feels when someone says that? With the hardcore experiences along the way, when hope seems like a meaningless word. When you feel like the world has given up on you and your back is opposing its existence.

As young as I was, I was afraid of Pa. Choice wasn’t something that I had. Yes, you gave me a trial which I for one completely failed to excel on…wow! You wanted me to play with the young girl’s future, make her doubt her feelings, undermine her gender? That I could not do and if it is a sign of weakness then I would rather be considered as a coward.

No! All I have ever done was to command you in my life, I dodged my secondary life in the name of pleasing my father. I tried to act against my own gender in the name of confusing my enemies. Tell me, would you have accepted me if I enjoyed the other gender. Would it be okay with you knowing that you have a lesbian or a gay child? You wouldn’t accept me.

I had to be an average learner when I was born to be a Cum Laude, as much as I wanted to be known far and near, I again compromised for you.

I endured living your life for as long as I could remember.

You were supposed to be my protector, my shining armour. And here I am questioning our DNA. Are you really my father? Do you ever imagine how it feels when someone says that, “I cannot take it anymore? I tried my best but it seems like I didn’t.”

Did you ever try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes? Their hardcore experiences along the way, when hope seemed like a meaningless word. When you feel like the world has given up on you and your back is opposing its existence.
