Father Monster

Against the stone wall of the cave, a scraping talon sounds. It’s happening again. The giant eagle human legs, eyes of ocean blue. The creature that reminds me of doom. Now I hear it shouting, now what is it saying. My name, shit how does it know my name? Now the earth is shaking. And my dream into a reality with the blue eyes staring into my soul. Alicia get up. My worst nightmare has awoken my manipulative father. Or as me and my brother like to say, our father monster.

Oh my I understand this. I’m so sorry for whatever you’ve been through. Know you’re not alone. 💕

I really felt this. Maybe I’m wrong, but I could almost feel how you wrote this. There’s a lot of raw power in this work. If you want more feedback, I would love to give you some!


Also, I know how cheesy it is, but you’re alone. There’s people like us who’ve suffered at the hands of those who raised us, and you can always lean on them for support. From someone who has been through this kind of stuff, I promise it gets better. With all my heart, I promise it gets better.
