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

very deep hard to touch. but for your bravery i'll say that this write would mean so much to someone that will never reply or say who she is. someone with teary eyes whos fathers freedom still haunts her. Most fathers are good but there are the bad. and to some daughters the best thing they ever had was a dad.
