Daughter to Father
You have ruined me
It's your fault I can't
Seem to find my way
I can't seem to do the right thing
It's your fault that I am wreck less
It's your fault I'm a wreck
God how can my brother get the most attention when I am your first?
I'm the furthest
But I guess that's why I don't matter
I guess that's why we don't talk
But holy shit!
I'm the child so why do I have to be the adult
Why do I have to be the one always hurting?
I've dated three guys since I moved from New York
Looking for happiness
For wholeness
But they can't fill that void
Ever heard of
"The person who hurt you is the only one who can fix you"
No?
Well it's a valid point
Only you can replace the emptiness I feel
With wholeness
And it sucks you know
I try my best and all I get is "good job"
My brother could poop and he gets a standing ovation
Don't get me wrong I love him to pieces but
Why?
Why don't I get that?
I got honors
I have good grades
I speak well for my age
But why?
He spells a word right and it's like the world is finally spinning
I fly over and the only day I get emotion out of you is the day before I leave
Because then you apparently love me
But any other fucking day of the year and you could barely give a fuck
So please help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
What is it?
What can I do to prove to you I am your daughter
For I am done being ruined.
I think I found someone
To feel safe with
To hopefully spend forever with
But it had nothing to do with you
Just because you were ruined
Doesn't mean I have to be too
