I'm slowly creating a portfolio here of songs that I have penned. I aim for songs that capture a true moment, an image, a sentiment, or a certain time, place, and feel that evoke the universal experience with an original vision.

# 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
