Tough Love
I’m proud of you
I’m so proud of you
But
I’m not going to tell you
Because
I want you to be strong
That’s what you feel right?
I should be strong
Strong enough to face this harsh world
The world that will not pat my back
Every time I triumph
The world which will try to put me down
Every single chance it gets
I know you feel,
I love you
I love you so much
That I’m not going to hug you
Because
The world is not going to show me love
You want me to be strong,
“I’m preparing you to face the world”
You said.
You were right,
The world didn’t love me
The world was harsh
But then
So were you, papa. ~ your son
