“ I Can’t Move” by Tania Tyler Wilson
I … I feel stuck, tired, and drained, like I can’t move away from my dad’s actions to his thoughts. I can’t breathe, can’t get a break from the way my mom says, “Ask your father,” to him taking forever to give me an answer. I feel stuck, like even when my heart tries to understand him, but my mind knows better. Frozen, wishing I could be in his shoes to maybe understand. I’M STUCK! Knowing my mom wants me to be all I can be, but my dad is holding me back. He treats me like a baby and can’t accept the fact that I’m growing up. I’m frozen, like I’m a butterfly that can’t spread my wings. Like someone is watching my every move. I can’t breathe.
