Dear African Parents

Do you realize you have damaged me? Do you realize you’re the cause of my misery? Do you realize your tactics have caused me pain? Do you realize your tactics does not create a bond between us? Do you realize you do not know your child? Do you realize that you are part of my depression? Do you realize I’m not being dramatic? Do you realize I’m not doing it for attention? Do you realize I can’t come talk to you because you just yell when I speak? Do you realize my intentions is not to disrespect you? Do you realize we grew up in different generations? Do you realize it's love I need and not screaming? Do you even realize you made life not worth living for me? No, no you don’t!
