If I Really Am Your Daughter

Am I going crazy?

Do I just not get it?

Do you really mean what you say?

Do you really not care?

The things you say cut me

They create wounds

Wounds that you keep scratching at

Wounds that wont heal

Why do you say the things you say?

Why do you do the things you do?

Why do you not care?

If I really am your daughter

Iâ??m your daughter you say

Im your ,favorite youngest,

Yet you havent said I love you

For as long as I remember

Ive made holes in walls

Ive cried till I shook

My hearts broken because of you

Yet Im still your daughter you say

Why do you say the things you say?

Why do you do the things you do?

Why do you not care?

If I really am your daughter

The one time I wanted you there

It was a track meet

I was a freshman and I was running varsity

You showed up so I thought I was your daughter

To my surprise you came up to me after

Told me how bad I ran

And how I needed to get better

If I was to be ,your daughter,

Why do you say the things you say?

Why do you do the things you do?

Why do you not care?

If I really am your daughter

I finally made friends at school

You tore me apart from them

I was to be friends with better people

if I was to be your daughter

Why do you say the things you say?

Why do you do the things you do?

Why do you not care?

If I really am your daughter

You know what mom?

Im done trying to be your daughter

I thought daughter came with being born to you

I guess not, I guess I had to earn the title

I give in, I will never win

You have hurt me so bad

You made me cry so many rivers

I can never and will never be your daughter

Why do you say the things you say?

Why do you do the things you do?

Why do you not care?

If I really am your daughter

I decided when I become a mom

Im going to do things different

I will support my daughter

And not make her earn the title

She will be my little girl

I will encourage her through everything

I will hold her close

and say, I love you, my little daughter??

I wont say the things you say

I wont do the things you do

I will care

She really will be, my daughter
