Daddy's Girl

You're supposed to be my father,
And me, your one daughter,
Don't push me away,

I try just so hard,
To retract these scars,
But my edges are frayed,

You're so hypocritical,
Jaded and cynical,
And I feel so small,

You watch as I cry,
And never do try,
You just let me I fall,

I'm closed and rejected,
No longer connected,
And, Dad, you don't know,

Each day I'm fading,
Lifeless, degrading,
I'm going to blow,

Some days you see me,
And wonder, “Who is she?,
Certainly not mine.”

But Daddy I need you,
Is it I'm see through,
Or are you just blind?

Please help me, I'm losing,
You're words are abusing,
Would you just stop?

I want you to trust me,
Don't try and adjust me,
Lend a hand, or back off,

The weight of the world,
On such a weak girl,
Is taking it's toll,

I feel so smothered,
And now being covered,
Buried in this hole,

A broken girl trying,
To her father she's crying,
But he cannot hear,

Dad, it's your daughter,
Please act like my father,
Or I may disappear …
