i love when dudes are like “of course i respect women, i have a sister and a niece” like what does that even mean. there isn’t a person on this planet who isn’t related to a woman like what is Your Point

(via recovering-ballerina)

When I stood less than three feet tall
I used to think you knew it all

Your mind was keen
Your goals were clear
You were full of hope
And never fear

To me, your shortcomings totaled zero
And in my eyes, you were my hero

And Dad, you were my closest friend
How should I know that this would end?

But now I stand at five foot two
And remember a man that I once knew

A fragmented family
Torn by resentment and lies
A father whose been ostracized

A home enveloped in constant tension
Conversations filled with apprehension

A disease that encompasses the body and mind
Has left the old you far behind

Now a man who once dreamt a future so bright
Is cloaked in a gown sewn with anger and spite

But surely this cannot be the end
Although not forgotten, time can mend

And with every new day another chance
To prevent this hateful avalanche

For future promises have yet to be broken
And future words have yet to be spoken

And if not for me, then do it for you
Please bring back the dad that I once knew
