Daddy's Girl
It seems as if you are pushing me farther and farther away.
I am at the point of hating but I refuse to take upon that train of thought because of what I was taught.
You taught me everything I needed to know.
How to treat someone.
How to express yourself.
How to learn from your mistakes.
How to be a "member of the family"
How to feel accepted.
How to BE YOU.
But what I realized is that I am not a "Daddy's girl" at all.
Do not put that title on me.
Everything was not given to me, emotionally.
I may have had the nicest clothes, sneakers, jewelry but I didn't have support.
In volleyball, of course, you came and watched.
And argued and punched me when I did something wrong.
But now I know that was wrong.
From the beatings, to the bruising.
From the choking til I was blue and the push me through a wall when I was 8.
I am no "Daddy's Girl" and never will be.
So don't think about putting that title on me.
