I'll Never Be You're Daddy's Girl

Questions swirl around me like a whirlpool
Each one a dagger driven towards my chest
Curled up in this ball in the dead of night I scream
Enormous sobs build in my chest
An ocean of tears flood my cheeks
Why can't the world understand!?
Instead it brings blow after blow
Each one bringing me back to the start
When you told me I was worthless
That I'd never prosper
I wish you could see what you did
The nights I wake with sweat drenched hair
As the violent screams get caught in my throat
My body tensed continues to tremble
As the feeling of uselessness consumes me
I clutch my blanket the only comfort I've got
Nobody makes the motions anymore
They look down on me with pity in their eyes
But their still clueless
Lost in the battle within
I'm out of touch with the world
Days turn into weeks
And without warning the years slip past me
Now your back a new conquest in mind
But I won't give you the satisfaction
I'm learning that the pain you caused
It's made me stronger then I thought I was
But it's nothing more than a pretense
One that caries me until daylight has expired
But night gives way to the weaker me
The only part of me that still feels real
As morning beckons I cover the evidence
My sleepless night has left behind
You're the ghost of my past
Returning only to haunt my future
As freedom and adulthood near
I try to avoid your presence
But it seems that your only reason for breathing
Is to drive my already damaged heart into the ground
And claim it was all in the pursuit of absolution
But I'm standing my ground
My hearts not a toy for you to play with
And I'm not going to allow it anymore
I'm sure you'll be shocked when I tell you
That I wish you'd leave
Maybe then you'll finally see
That you were the one who broke me.
