Daddy.

Why don't you just shoot me;
Finally let me go.
I've been a burden for far too long,
And I know I get on your nerves.
You waste your breath on me;
I'm always in your way.
But I'm your daughter, Daddy,
So why can't you just treat me the right way?
You've made me cry,
And many others too.
You put your hands on us,
Make us not know what to do.
We feel so lost;
So powerless against you.
We hate you, Daddy.

You keep drinking your alcohol;
Smoking your cigarettes,
And yelling your pointless words.
We will never be good enough for you.
Lawyer, Teacher, Doctor.
I'll never meet your standards.

So why don't you just shoot me, Daddy.
And finally let me go.
