Daydreams

She stares out the car window Solemn and quiet Compared to the heated argument That just erupted in the front seat... She daydreams Waiting for the day she can leave; Get away from this living hell Far as she can run Make her own decisions; Her own life Out from under Daddy's thumb... Its always the same; The fights, Then stony silence for days The hidden bruises The pain- Physical and emotional hurt- Hypocritical lectures from ''The Master'' (Daddy) Ruined relationships; She lives with a broken heart- Broken and half-way healed So many times It feels like it was never whole- Tears trickle down her cheeks She quickly rubs them away Before Daddy sees. And she daydreams again...
