Familial Conflictions
From hero to villian
Within the same breath
Now choices have caught up
Sentencing your death
Creating in me, life
Yet shaming my existence
Still I have chosen
A life of forgiveness
Separating me
From what others had
Those little girls that knew
There was a king in their dad
Struggles with jealousy
Envy pushing my nerve
For not a king ruled my home
Just a sickning perve
Why wasn't I good enough
Being just a daughter
Why must the demons
Play the role of my father
Now here, years past
A stumble caught your mistake
In prison, you'll rot
While freedom lies at my wake
Why then am I still torn?
Between sympathy and anger
When the one sent to protect
Was the one feeding me to danger
I painfully miss him
The man who hurt my soul
Because all I ever wanted
To be daddy's baby girl
