Daddy's lil angel

I always got good marks
the top 5 in the class
i was daddy's little angel
but that dream shattered just like glass

they never knew the other girl
the one crying in her room
who wrote poems just like this
full of doom and gloom

they never saw the silent tears
never asked or knew
the world just kept on spinning round
so i spread my wings and flew

the wrists laced with blood red threads
the outlets for the pain
the dull brown eyes seeing blood
stain my golden mane

yet my mind was never clearer
than when i held that knife
it somehow helped me focus
on my hurt and hopeless life:

the perfect daughter all the time
who always had a smile
who went to clubs and got good grades
crying all the while

you never knew the pain i hid
and for that i will be glad
the facade will continue
of the family we once had

i can let my spirit go now
soaring through the air
fly away from all life's pain
and free me from all care
