in the dark my value haunts me. "you're a worthless failure", "you're never going to amount to much"- those words attack on repeat and are only calmed by a lover's touch. but why don't you drive your daggers deeper and reduce me down to a thoughtless weeper who feels nothing but despair and deep, deep anger? all from words from the one i call "father". don't you see what you're doing? don't keep coming for me, don't keep pursuing me as your daughter! i know why i'm running away from all the pain that you're causing. don't try to repair it, your damage is done, and i'm gone...
