I thought I was your little girl
Now that I’ve found him
You’re treating me so different
Like I’m not even your daughter
I hold back the tears I want to cry
I used to be “Daddy’s Little Girl”
But it seems like you don’t want that
Tell me, what’s so different now?
You never treated me like this
Before he came back into my life
What is it about this one?
He treats me great, I know that’s not it
Daddy, tell me, is he taking me from you,
Is that what this is all about?
I didn’t act like this with the others
Because he’s not like the rest
Daddy, tell me what it is
That’s causing you to treat me different now
Daddy, I’ll always be your little girl
Nothing in the world can change that
But I’m growing up now its tyme to let me grow
And let me be with him
Daddy, I love him . . .

Oh wow looks like things aren't going too good at home. Well good luck with this Tamma. The poem was well expressed.

This was a brilliant piece, I found it very moving and it was a poem which I found very easy to relate to.  I really loved it, I think its the first I've read of yours and so far I thin that you are a very verytalented poet.  I really enjoyed this post.  Hope to see more of your work soon.
