Just because I’m your little girl doesnt me you have to treat me like one
Just because you say so, isnt reason enough
Why must I be restricted from what you don’t feel is right?
You set me to your standards which may I add are much too high
I’m not a genius or athletic, I’m me
I’m sorry if I let you down
And I’m sorry that I can’t be the perfect daughter.
I’m sorry you can’t show me off to all your friends
Well you know what, I’m not perfect
I’m not who you think I am
I cry myself to sleep because I hate who I am
And I hate what you guys do to me, to pressure me to be something I’m not
You make me feel inferior
When you tell me I look bad- it hurts
When you tell me to change my clothes- it hurts
When you tell me I’m worthless- it hurts
It hurts when you love two people with all your heart, yet you’re never good enough
I hate it when you yell at me
And I hate if even more when you try and be nice after
You know, I’m sorry if I don’t want to hug you after you just smacked me
The bruises last forever even it the mark fades away
You tell me to change my tone
Well what am I to change it to?
The little girl who does what her parents tell her no matter what
The fake voice that squeaks at high notes
No that’s not me
You don’t know how many times I’ve bitten my tongue to hold back what I want to say
I have to be quiet because its not my place
I’m not always wrong in my accusations
And you know that
I’ve done more in my 17 years of life than you have done
I’m smarter than you were at my age
Why can’t you just except what I am and let me live my life?
Let my leash go, I’m tired of being tied down.
