There are never enough tears.
To Baba, I Am…
a child
a girl
a stranger
nothing he cares for
a tool to help around the house
a horrible example of a daughter
not trust-worthy
less than human
stupid
irresponsible
To Mama, I am…
Stupid
Irresponsible
Lazy
Not trust-worthy
an opportunity to bring money
an investment
an investment-gone-wrong
a girl
less than a man
guilty of all charges
unreliable
unchangeable
To my parent’s eyes, I don’t live up to their standards, so naturally I resort to silence.
