"I have daddy issues"
I joke to the date
That I probably shouldn't
Say that to yet
God you're such an idiot!
"I have daddy issues"
I say seriously to my best friend
But end up laughing off
Cause Lord knows
I don't want anyone to worry about me
"I have daddy issues"
I whisper to more myself than my brother
He has more important things
To worry about besides me
Damnit why are you like this!?
So damn selfish!
Ignorance so loud it knocks hearts apart.
Love that is, at its best, temporary.
Long roads and many miles equals father.
Jokes about just having a sperm donor.
And thoughts of 'what the fuck is wrong with me.'
All of these things remind me
That I am nothing more than:
A cliche
A girl dancing for money and attention
An unstable nightmare meant only for one night stands
A girl that boys are told to stay away from because "you could never have a family with a girl that doesn't have one."
A girl with "daddy issues."

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
