Leaving
Write about a character leaving something, or someone, they love.
Who’s Left
It’s not fair
First my dad
My actual father
Then my Poppop
My main male figure
Most recently, Grandpa
My last male figure
I lose all my father figures
It’s not fair
It feels like loose change
Slipping between my fingers
And I’m left with no coins left

(I just wanted to say that my mom is amazing, having taken over both parental roles. I wrote this a while ago and apparently was in my feelings during that time. It’s not really finished, but I don’t have the mental power to finish it. Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Father’s Day and appreciate the fathers and male figures in your life!)
