The letter you never recieved
Daddy, there's so much that I want to say to you,
But this page isn't long enough, and even If I did,
You wouldn't even read it, because you simply don't give a fuck.
I was your daughter, your precious pride and joy,
but then something in you changed, and you threw me away.
You bruised and beat my soul, until it was nothing but a bloody pulp.
I really believe that I hate you, because of what you turned me into.
I don't shower with the lights on, because I hate my body,
And I don't eat in front of people anymore,
In fear that you will be watching.
Daddy I loved you, even though you'd always hated me.
This page isn't long enough, so this will have to do.
I know that it wasn't all your fault.
Your father raised you with open arms shaped like barbed wire fences,
And used his fists like unopened bedtime stories.
He shaped you into something inhuman, and for that I am sorry.
But you didn't have to follow in his footsteps,
You could've been so much better, and been the father you'd always wanted.
But instead you were a monster, who stole my soul,
And broke my heart.
I know this letter will never be received,
So daddy, from me to you, Know this,
I am much older now, but the scars are still there,
I don't think I can ever forgive you, for what you've turned me into.
