When I’m around you
I feel restricted
I’m tethered to your needs
I’m not myself when you’re around
Your happiness makes me sick
But promises you’ll be docile a bit longer

You have trained me
Groomed me
Into whatever little creature you wanted
I am exactly what you want
When you’re around
And that’s why
You will never know me
You don’t deserve to know your daughter
Not when you’ve done this to her
You’ve imprisoned her
Locked away everything that belonged to her
Pried open every innocent secret
Assuming malice
She never knew privacy
Except within her own head
So now, that’s where she lives
She’s trapped
And it’s your ******* fault
