My own fears and independance
Is what tore us apart
I was afraid of being hurt
So I built a wall around my heart

Some where over the years though
I needed the bond that we had
But you gave me the space I demanded
That made me a little mad

So I took my pain and anger
Directed it all towards you
Told myself you didn't care
And eventually believed it to be true

It saddens me to think
That I could have been so wrong
Now I can clearly see
That you loved me all along

It took almost losing you
To finally open up my eyes
It is funny how the distance
Stengthened our family ties

I no longer think I am alone
In this scary, evil world
One thing I am sure of
I am still Daddy's Girl

Oooo I love the twist at the end..I thought this was about love...well I mean it IS but I was thinking more romantic love than family love ya know..errr okay moving on...
This was very well written and very expressive. It flowed nicely. Definitely a worthwhile read

This world has taken me as far as it can...
without your smile.~*

I like the twist at the end. Nicely done on this one. I liked it tons.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for replying.

This is really special to me, sort of an apology to my dad for ever pushing him away. It suck that now that we are finally close again he lives over 8 hours away.

That was marvelous
I'm very impressed with you writing
I think this is the first I've read of yours
And I like it a lot
