Daddy Issues pt. 1
to my father
who loved me in
the only way he could
i don't know what
went wrong along the way
but something did
and now i am
a mess of my own creation
all because there was no
real love or connection
i don’t know how this happened
how a beautiful girl
ended up so bruised
i know you tried
to hold me close
but i slipped away
without even realizing it
now I am what people say
they never want to be
with a messy life and
messed up family
i’ve turned into a girl that
i don’t even recognize anymore
living in the shadows
that nobody can see
because I am related to you
raised by you
yours
but not anymore
