A Daughter's Rejected Love

by Timothy   Nov 7, 2015


I know that I am stupid, and you had wished I was a boy,
You tell me I am worthless, and I bring you no joy;
I want to show you I am a good daughter, that I can do things right,
But I fail every time, try as I might.

I know that I am clumsy, I always trash your stuff,
You tell me that you wished I was never born, and enough is enough;
I want to show you I can get it right, if you will just let me try again,
But I don't think you will let me anymore, I have too many sins.

I know that I am unlovable, and I don't deserve your time,
You tell me I'm a hideous thing, and the fault's all mine;
I want to hug you, and I want you to want to hug me right back,
Because a girl needs her daddy, even if her daddy has made her world black.

    Yes a girl needs her daddy...no matter what; And to not have a father's hand to give her strength or guide her, instead is left to feel lonely, unwanted and dejected just makes it all miserable as well as vulnerable...another touching write.

      Thank you. I wrote it almost a month ago, and haven't been on since. But being back twice in the same month is rare for me.
