Old Car

My dad loved that car. It was old and I was young. I got a scratch one day. I almost drove away. With that old car. But then he would be sad. But at least then… He wouldn’t know. Sadly, I did come home that day. I ran away a year later. With my own car, my own bags, my own money. With my rusty car. With scratches and dents all over. I left my dad behind. I left him with his car.

I read it twice and only then did the meaning sink in - this is sad but with a message of resilience and standing up for oneself. I like it very much. Keep Writing.
