"I wrote this song for my father, sometimes I feel he never gave a damn about me, though he raised me like he should did he understand me? No, I don't think so"
-Age 3-
"Daddy, Daddy! Look!" I waddled into the room holding the toy guitar, playing a random tune on it but he never turned to look he just kept his eyes on the paperwork he was working on. I pouted then walked away, back to the playroom where I was before I bothered him.

"I wrote this song for my Mother she had To leave me when I was younger she said seek this life and keep an open mind but in my mind's eye"
-Age 5-
I watched my mom pack her things into boxes, tears forming in the rim of my eyes "Momma please don't go, momma, I don't wanna stay with daddy I wanna be with you" I sobbed and choked on my tears. My mom sniffled then knelt down in front of me "I have to go, princess, I can't stay. You're gonna be ok because you're a warrior and you're the strongest one I know. You're gonna get through this life the best way you can." She kisses my head then backs away. "Goodbye, my sweet little angel" and with that, she was gone. Forever.

"I am free now Free to live without my fears I believe now There's a reason why I'm here It's to try to do good It's to try to do better"
-Age 17-
It's been weeks since I've moved in with my boyfriend and 2 weeks till graduation and I'm still missing 15 credits. Schools tough I don't understand the work, I'm too antisocial to ask for help but I'm trying. Too bad dad was to blind to see that.

"Who will I be for my daughter? This little baby, she means the world to me Will I relive their mistakes? Or do things the right way? For her sake!"
-Age 21-
It's been 4 years since I moved out of my dad's place. I have a daughter now and everything seems to be perfect but my boyfriend and I have been fighting a lot lately. What if I end up cowering out of a relationship like my mom or what if [boyfriends name] ends up neglecting our baby girl like my dad did to me? I sighed wiping away my tears then began walking towards our bedroom "Hey" I spoke. [boyfriends name] looked up. "Hey," he said. I began to cry again "I-I'm so sorry" I choked out. He stood up and walked over to me. He held me close and planted a kiss at the top of my head "I'm sorry too [daughters name] must feel so petrified right now" he said "let's go check on her" we said as we walked into her room where she was fast asleep hanging on to her teddy. I smiled. She looks so peaceful and so was her life for a long time after that day.
