I’m pinning my hair back so I can work and suddenly

I’m

6 years old

Doing my hair so daddy will love me again

(She knows that he hasn’t loved her since the day she was born)

I’m

Back to 14 going on 15 years old

Doing my hair to play video games

(His dad only loves him just as a sexual object)

I feel young again in the worst way possible
