Smile For Daddy

Sorry your little girl is a full grown teen now
A shame you weren't there to watch her grow
All the things going on inside,
None that I expect you to know

You were never there,
Always something better to do
So don't get mad at me
When I glare at you

Don't throw things at the wall
Daddy, you're scaring me
Pay attention, Daddy
Why cant you see?

What's that right there?
A tear in your eye?
No,it couldn't be
Cause you told me you never cry

Well, while you sat there
And tried to act tough
I wondered to myself
Why I was never enough

Please stop slamming daddy
You'll break the door
I never did anything
What are you doing this for?

Hey daddy, I hate the way you scream
I hate the way it feels to fall asleep
Hide my feelings underneath the covers of my bed
With your voice still ringing through my head

And I hate the way you used to make mom cry
And I hate it when I wonder why
Try to close my eyes
But its killing me inside
To know you don't love me anymore
To think about the way we were before

Before I grew up
Before you grew old
Before you gave up
When I still did what I was told
Before you opened my eyes to the world
When I was just your little girl

I hated all those words
Mom wrote in the mirror
I washed them away
But they didn't disappear

I cant be perfect, I cant walk on glass
I hope you realize soon,
To pull your head out of your ass
Your kids, you don't realize
Really hate the way they feel inside
Believe me I know what it feels like to want to die

Hey daddy I hate the way you hate me
Just to stare me down so disapprovingly
And I hate it when I have to fight you
I hate you for all that you do

And I hate how you made Jake cry
when you hit him with your car
And I just hate the way you are

And I hate it when I hate you
Cause something deep inside of me
Is saying that I have to love you
Cause thats how little girls should be

And I hate the way I feel at night
When I write these little songs
About the way you scream and fight
And the way we just don't get along

You show me off to your friends
And I smile politely
Theres so much they don't know about you
But I'll keep smiling for daddy.

You need to get out. Pretending so often isn't good for you. Please just try and find someone who can help you and Jake.

To tell you to do something would be wrong. I agree with Emily fully. No one should be tortured like you and your brother Jake have been...

May God protect and help you.

thou shalt surely die.

Is this a true story? Get help if it is. He hit Jake with a car? Wow...get out quick! Over all though I really liked your poem. It had wonderful emotion.

this poem says so much..
in some ways i noe exactly how you feel
but there is always that difference between us also. im sorry for what you go through and what you may see..
i noe now you or jake may not be able to get out right away but if you just be strong and keep in mind..once that day comes that you both will leave,you will not have to return back. sometimes thats just what it takes. i hope things get better..but if thats not a possibiltiy,,be strong. in my opinion in the end you will show to be a better person. =)
