Taking you off the street because I can see a sadness in you. I know I can take better care of you than you are.
It's a struggle at first, you don't want me to do things for you. You don't like when I do your hair and you don't like the clothes I have prepared for you.
I tell you that girls shouldn't have to pull out their own chairs so you should let me do it. There's a flash of emotion across your face that you fail to hide, you insist you're not a girl.
You refuse to take the pills, so I hide them in your food. I think it's good you feel like you have some control. But I know this will make you happier in the long run.
It's okay, you can let go. You don't have to fight anymore. You have no choice.
I don't care how long it takes, I will save you. Your hair will grow out, you'll stop refusing your meds, you'll be happy for the pretty clothes I pick out for you. It will all happen away from prying eyes, away from anyone who would make you afraid or doubt yourself.
One day you will let me take you out on a date, you'll look so beautiful in the outfit I prepared for you, I'll pull out your chair for you, I'll order for us and pay for us both. You'll smile politely when I hold the door for you and you'll wait for me to open the car door.
Don't worry, I will wait for you.
