Daddy's little girl
A little girl is hidden under a black sheet
The displeasure of life so sweet
Innocence of a lifetime buried deep below
Getting older and older, don’t know where it go
Father do you remember what you told your little girl
It’s me and you against the world
A world filled with lies and sorrows
A black hole of miseries and cries of tomorrow
It’s me against you and the world
A girl no more
Life unsure
Drugs of seduction
Memories so crushing
Age is rushing
With a laughter of nothing
But who are you
Hmm I’m trying to figure that out too
I’m sitting in this gold dilemma
That the wind blew in
Pick or choose either way you lose
You lose the life of a misplaced
Misunderstood, educated
Underestimated girl
A girl trying to grow up
A girl lost in this world
So you ask who am I
I am the compliment of confidence
The consequence of my accomplishments
The consciousness of my benevolence
And I am the excellence that is irrelevant to my intelligence
The intelligent tears written on my cheeks
Because my heart is not a bullet proof vest
It’s more like a filter in a cigarette
Flowing through my chest
Waiting for the smoke of life to come next
Because I am the rejection of neglection
The infection of inception
The face of aggression
The hands of possession
Where I am in no relation
To the contraction of the train station
Where the train station was my innocence
And it smashed away the chairs of my self-expression
But I didn’t give up
Because when innocence turned its back on me
I took out its spine; I cut it in half and took what’s mine
Then I looked purity in the face and I took out her eyes
So I can see my sanity and all the bad times
Then Mother Nature and Father Time had the nerve
To come together and give me back the other half of mine
My innocence
And they told me my life was magnificent
And that I’m blindfolded by all the extravagance
Where I am the protagonist, antagonist
The car, driver, thriver, survivor, Lover, hater
The beginning of what it is
And the ending of what I missed
But father I can still cry
Cry about all the unwanted space of time
The bitter tears of surrender
Flowing on your shoulders
As my troubles grew boulder and boulder
But I know as long as your there
Things would get better
