This Child Of His

by Imperfect Perfections   Feb 22, 2007


She can't handle the hate anymore
She can't bear the pain
All the hurtful things he says
Is making her insane

She can't help but cry each night
She can't help but hate who she is
Because she must have done something
To make him detest this child of his

She tries to be the perfect daughter
Which means trying to be the perfect girl
She just wants her father's acceptance
She wants to be thought of as his "precious pearl"

He spends the most time yelling at her
When she has done nothing wrong
He threatens to send her away
Because he tells her that she doesn't belong

She doesn't rebel and gets good grades
She doesn't do drugs nor drink
She doesn't know what else he would want from her
She doesn't know what else to think

He finally told her to pack up her things
He finally made her leave
Lost and confused, she walked away
A child of only fifteen
