The relationship a girl has with her father shouldn't be a focused one
no one side should have to fight more than the other and no one side should think he's great because he pays the bills
the other shouldn't crave it after 17 years of disappointment but it does because that's what it was taught "behave, honor your mother and father, wait till the day your dad walks you down the aisle and gives you great advice"
the only thing in life I've wanted to do was to impress you and make you proud but that's hard when you still don't care
I act it out as a great relationship on birthday, holidays, and when you're sick but in return I get nothing but "I'm sorry sweetie", "you're just a kid", and "again I'm sorry"
I scream at you because I want it so bad but just can't hold that back until I cry like a child
It rips me apart inside to know that I'll never have a great relationship with you
I look at other people and think yeah I love my dad too but the thing that hurts the most is that one day all this love that I have will turn into something horrible
