# 1 Daddy's Girl

i used to feel like an angel held high in daddy's arms i do recall i had it all summer picnics by the lake vacation trips, amusement parks, picture perfect moments that high had to crumble, had to fall sifting through emotions for when momma went AWOL justify your reason for bearing me at all lest you know the secret that dragged me on this far won't you notice just this once? are we through getting through? can't be your suffering child no more here's my wakeup call can't reach the threshold without a gauge can't force reactions to pour my rage you keep searching happiness in strangers' company you're an absentee landlord you don't bother making housecalls keep speeding up my growth I swear I don't feel like a teen I'm wiser than you think I show if we have a talk you'll surely know you're happy with my anecdotes you ask me to be brief I fill a book in silence for every page I speak what's left in life for you to teach? when a lesser me is more than you bother to reach? you got no care for you or me aren't you sick of being my enemy? can't be your suffering child no more here's my wakeup call
