You’ve Taught Me So Much, Daddy!

You’ve taught me…

To be afraid of this world

That I’m not your baby girl

To have huge meltdowns

To be sensitive to simple sounds

I’m always in trouble

I need a bigger bubble

Patience wears thin

How to wear my skin

That I’m evil

To hate the steeple

To hate being wet

Know I CP, but forget

To question love

You are always sitting above

To resent the military

To hate women you marry

How to flinch at your name

How to play his game

Not to ask for help

How to be by myself

To get in peoples’ face

How to feel like a waste of space

To be shy

Something’s wrong, but don’t cry

To hate my existence

To go on the defense

To be bitter

Snakes can calmly slither

To be bothered by emotion

To love commotion

Kids are precious

Parents don’t always want us

It’s okay to take away the power

To be a different flower

To forever wonder why

To say ‘’Goodbye’’

‘’Jenni’’ is just fine

The life I have is mine

Like I said, You’ve taught me so much, Daddy!

You’ve Taught Me So Much Daddy!
