D

suck it up

I cry
My dad says suck it up
I want to die
My dad says it's an excuse
I grow up
My dad seems proud
I come out
My dad is angry
I transition
He's more accepting
I move out
He becomes condescending
Someday I'll be his age
He'll grow old and die
When at his funeral
I won't cry
I'll listen to him
I'll suck it up
