Dating my dad

So much reflection lately

So much time spent trying to process why I continue to attract men who are not good for me

And as I sit down and try and dig a bit deeper into who I am

I am broken

I am hurt

I am tired

As I put the puzzle pieces together

Trying to pick up the fractured elements of my life and make sense of it all

The picture coming into focus is my dad

How broken this man has been

How much I wanted to help him

I wanted a role model in him

And I now look back at his image and know I am done

There will be no more ‘dating my dad’ thru any man

A man of strength is what we all deserve

And I will heal

I will set boundaries

I will find attract what I am worthy of

Nothing less
