Laughing Aloud
Seventeen years old
Time's gone by
Too fast
But Who's counting
All of those days,
Honestly?
It's just another
Year
That I will
Never
Get to see
Your face.
I berate myself
Over you
Because,
Really, you'd think
That I would
Be used to it
By now.
Guess not, huh?
Broken Promises
Built up lies
It's all
just been another part
Of my life
Don't you know
that you were supposed
To prove them
Wrong?
You were
Supposed to care!
But I guess
you just proved
them Right
in the end.
I can't trust you!
And I
hate myself!
For knowing
that I have
always loved you
because you are
My father.
The man
who gave me
the life that you
never wanted
a part of.
I wanted...
No!
I needed
to trust you!
Can't you understand
that's not easily done?
I'll never
be good enough
will I ?
Because I'm the
Second Daughter.
No longer your
Baby
And I don't
hold the honor
of being your
Son.
Besides
the title of "Oldest"
will aways
belong to Her.
No. I've never been
"Daddy's Little Girl"
because "daddy"
never really wanted
Me.
I was just another
Tally mark
on that long list
of his mistakes.
Well,
I'm tired
of being Second best.
The last one
to be noticed
out of the group.
I want you
to see me
for Me.
But, you know
I'd laugh aloud
at my own
Stupidity
If only
it didn't hurt
so bad...
I'm asking for
One thing
and it's this
So, say you're sorry
"Daddy"
and carry on with your life.
You're "Little Girl"
is growing up.
And she learned
long ago
How to make it
on her own.
