Dear Father

Father, am I really that worthless to you for you to choose Hanabi as the heir instead of your first born?

That you told Kurenai Sensei that you don't care if I die on a mission?

I always try so hard to please you but it's never enough.

I train, I sweat, and I bleed tears. All of that to just please you but it's still never enough.

Dear Father,

Am I disgusting to you?

The way you scowl or look at me with pure distaste as if I'm so sort of wild animal or monster.

Ever since mommy die you never shown me a real father, instead you shown me a warden.

Someone, who looks down upon as if they're nothing but dirt,

Never once have you praise or smile at something I've done right.

If I do do it right, you scoff and turn your nose at me saying I've should have gotten it done faster.

Do you truly hate me father?

I-I mean you belittle me and shove me to the side. Never once have I heard you say you love me.

Never once have you supported me as you do Hanabi.

I love my sister but I do envy the attention you give to her and not me. Then you start training Neji but not your daughter. Sometimes I wonder if I am your daughter since you treat me as a simple servant-scratch that because you treat our servants better than me.

You're so cold and empty that I wonder do you have any feelings for me. I wonder do you do it because you're the clan's head or you do it just because.

The way you treat me made me what I am in your eyes: weak.

When you frown down upon me, I ball up into my shield.

When you belittle me, I stutter to find excuses.

When you turn away from me, you make me hate myself more and more. But not anymore.

I found a man who adores my stuttering.

Who broke my shield into tiny pieces then burn the rest to make sure it won't build up again.

I found a man who told me to love myself because I am beautiful and not weak. He told me my gentle and caring way makes me human and I'm stronger than what you think.

Father, I found a man that I love and will marry in a few months. He proposed to me with a beautiful ruby ring, saying it matches the color of my cheeks.

Father, I'm leaving because this village has nothing to offer with the man I love. I'm going to be with him and you won't be ruining my happiness.

I'm going to marrying Uchiha Itachi so you can keep your little arranged marriage to yourself.

We're going to have kids and pass on our legacy through them.

So keep your damn clan and rules.

This is the man I love and nothing is going to stop us including you. Believe it!
