Oh Father
January 23, 2018
Oh my dear father,
did you never bother
to see your little girl grow?
Oh my dear father,
did you never care
the first time that she dyed her hair?
Oh my dear father,
did you never wonder
how much pressure she was under?
Oh my dear father,
did you never blink
when your little girl came home covered in ink?
Oh my dear father,
you never heard how she spat
when she called herself fat.
Oh my dear father,
did you see her cry
when your little girl told you that she wanted to die?
