Perfect Daughter

I’m sorry daddy I suppose I’m just a disappointment Can’t be your perfect daughter The kind, obedient one The one who doesn’t lie and sneak around Don’t know where you went wrong As I did But I’m hurting too You’re no angel Some pain you can’t feel yourself Like tears you cry on the inside So no one will see So you don‘t look weak A mask that fools everyone even the person with it on Scars so deep that you forget yourself It’s easy to point fingers And pass judgments You and I we’re just alike Maybe too much But I’ll always be your daughter Your little sunflower I hope I hope we can move past this That you’ll forgive me And maybe we’ll be happy again Like before The years so long ago we can’t even remember RaiAnne A.
