Daddy's little girl is crying on the floor
Daddy's little girl isn't who she was before
And as her tears fall while the blood runs from her wrist
Daddy's little girl begins to wonder why she exists
Daddy's little girl is never good enough
She's pathetic for crying when daddy's to rough
She runs and she hides because she's been bad
Daddy's little girl can only make daddy mad
Daddy's little girl tries to be a good girl but there's always something she missed
Daddy's little girl can't help but slice up the skin on her wrists
She breaths in his poison and cries nothing but red
By the end of the day she'll wish she was dead
Daddy's little girl is screaming in pain
Her words come rushed as she begs to explain
Daddy's blows come down and she screams once more
Daddy's little girl cries as he calls her a stupid whore
Daddy's little girl is looking in the mirror at the bruises on her skin
She clutches her chest as it hurts as if she's bleeding within
Daddy's little girl tries to push the razors away even if she wants to die
Daddy's little girl knows that it's bad, but she can't help but cry
All Daddy's little girl ever wanted was for Daddy to be proud
Daddy taught her many things, like how crying wasn't allowed
Daddy only beat her every day because she wasn't the best
She was pathetic and useless and couldn't help but be depressed
I'm done with the cutting and fed up with the past
I'm done trying to impress you and I'm leaving at last
Daddy's little girl is walking out the door
Daddy's little girl doesn't want to try to be your little girl anymore
Author notes
I come from an abusive home. When my parents got divorced I was forced to live with my father who never seemed to like me. I tried to be good, I even treid to be perfect. I got good grades and took care of my brother when I was 8, but it was never good enough. He beat me up no matter what I seemed to do and he was always calling me names and stuff...I used to cut myself a lot but I've stopped for about a year now---The last lines are about when I left to go live with my mother because I decided it was enough. I couldn't get him to love me because I guess I wasn't good enough, but I did try. I tried for 10 years.

By the fourth paragraph, I was crying. That was beautiful, sad, and touching. You are a strong person to have gone through all of that, I don't think I could've made it. I felt all of your pain.
