Paper Cut Eyes

To the perfect couple

To the perfect couple

(An unsaid plea by every daughter)

Mom, Dad, remember me.

Remember I can't be everything you want from me.

People fight sometimes,

I don't think I understand,

but I do know.

Just please, don't fight all day and night.

For living in that, I don't have the might.

Daddy hold my hand,

hold me like the first time I rode a bike.

Someday I'll act

like I don't need your help.

Daddy it's not true,

I'm just feeling like I have something to prove.

Mommy, don't leave my side,

even when it hurts my selfish pride.

In your eyes I'll see me,

the woman who I want to be.

Mommy, Daddy,

stay with me.

Even when I imagine being free,

you're still right there next to me.
