i only ever wanted to make you proud.
to see you smile once again.
i'm sorry if i wasn't that daughter you had in mind.
i'm sorry if i don't meet your standards.
your right,
i am the child and i know my place.
yet that doesn't mean you know yours.
you know hate,
you despise my passion,
the passion you lack.
don't take away the one thing i have over you.
i will keep my head down,
do simple tasks when told.
not argue over your rumbling voice.
to be honest you scare me,
you send shivers down my spine when you stand between the door frame.
afraid of what is to come.
i miss being your little girl.
remember when you used to put me on your shoulders and tell me i could reach for the stars someday?
all i wanted was to make you proud.
i reached for the stars,
but i am nothing i wanted to be.
i am you,
i have become everything i loathe when i look into your eyes.
i am no longer daddy's little princess am i?
