[Mimickry]

I've hated you since I can first remember.




That first, excruciating moment.

The only comfort I had was that single lullaby.

One that would make most have their hairs stand on end.

But it always let me know, one day, that suffering would be left behind.

And then you took that away too.

You sent me to this forsaken chunk of rock in the middle of a puddle.

I hated you even more for that. Because you never told me why.

No thanks to you, I thought, I had been growing well.

Learning so much of this place.

Then I met them.

Are they what you wanted me to be privy to?

Is this why you sent me here?

Perhaps I did misjudge you.

I'll continue on, under the assumption of such.

I still don't like you, after everything you've done.

But it's a start.

Because now I have an inkling towards the truth, don't I?

I hope to see you soon, 'Father'.
