a little of honesty
I never once explained to you how I became the person I am today
Dad, I'm sorry
I broke all of the rules I made up when I was younger
The ones created to protect me and my glass heart
Lately it's became a place to hold broken shards
I fill it up with sea glass, it must be prettier than me
Being abused by someone I trusted made me so angry
I am still so angry, I'm sorry I can't control myself all of the time daddy
I never meant to upset you
He came at me with everything he got
It was upsetting to see how easily tears fell from my face
I'm sorry I cry so much daddy, this wasn't how it was supposed to turn out
This little piece of truth may make you see me differently
But I promised none of this was planned
He seemed so nice and kept asking for permission
Until my answer was no and that's when he stopped asking
Daddy, I love you but when you are too aggressive
It reminds me of the night I so truly want to forget
Write me back soon, I want to hear about all you have planned for me
