Hey daddy
It would just be super cool to me
If you would just be cool with me
and love me for who I am.
I'm an actress who never stops performing for your love
Shower me with praise so I can finally win
But suppressing my humanity is too impossible
I'll never be enough for you as long as I live.
Did you ever notice how much I loved that river
The one you used to take me to sometimes
I remember when I was little
asking you what was on the other side.
Mom is a cryer
I guess I got it from her.
I've never seen you show you weren't alright
I got that from you I'm sure.
They told me when I was little about Uncle George
About how he's an angel in the sky
When I was talking to my older brother
He said you were different before he died.
There's a picture of your father
In your office and your room
You don't talk much about him
But I know he was important to you
Tell me I'm a mistake
with every breath that I take
When I don't behave
You try to make me break
Feed off my insecurities
Tear away all the best parts of me
Discriminate until I have no sense of self-identity
When you look in my direction, is it just my failures that you see?
I've changed for you but deep downI'm still the same
I'm messy and happy and a bit crazy--I can't change
When you knew I was a lesbian you spoke of only shame
But I'm afraid of the day I step off my stage.
Hey daddy
I pretend your words don't get to me
But honestly they really get to me
Please love me for who I am.

الشعرa place where I've written my feelings when I felt them. it has become a story of depression and recovery, love and loss, hope and fear, and everything in-between. mostly poetry, sometimes stories. :)
