Frightened

I rest here, watching the dusk rise and fall to my doubts. A dad to a little girl, and sometimes it is overwhelming to admit I struggle with finding the real me. Today isn’t the first time I have felt frightened. I yearn to give my daughter the moon, but that’s not possible. When she asks for a fairy doll, all I can do is take her to the park.

I sit beside my hero, as he talks about the sun setting, and all the beautiful colours roaming through the amazing sky. I wanted the new toy for my birthday, but he told me he didn’t have enough money. Did I want to go to the park instead? It was a brilliant afternoon, and we took a picnic.

‘Love you, Daddy, can we go again tomorrow?’
