I am

I Am:

 I am, 

 My father's daughter.

 Drinking problems,

 Anger issues,

 And all. 

 I am 

that little girl, 

daddy's girl.

The girl waiting,

daddy come home.

I am

The girl with teary eyes

hiding behind a coach,

daddy please don't.

I am 

that girl

too afraid of her shadow.

 That girl,

with a bruised

and bloody upper lip.

 I am,

that girl

screaming for her life.

Watching the police take daddy. 

 I am

that girl,

who learned she wasn't defined

by her daddy's mistakes.

 I am that girl,

who forged her own path. 

And I am

the girl,

 Who took fate into her own hands.

I am

braver,

stronger,

and undefined by the past. 

I am

the girl, 

who took a stance.
