YOU who insists on negating my very stories; my personal memories... Who are YOU to make ME out to be demented, with the wave of your hand, and the roll of your eyes and impatient sighs... just DISMISSING me, 'cause to you...my thoughts, my feelings NEVER mattered.
I'm just your daughter... the Mad Hatter!
You never quite believed that 'he'...your great love.. could violate me... so hard for you to believe how lecherous his hands could really be.
I've heard through grape vines to this day, you still need to deny it, and when confronted with this truth, your eyes patronize as, once again, I imply it.
Harsh lessons were learned very quick and quite well, as each time I'd follow your path into hell. I learned at too young of an age how this was your drama, and I...was your stage... And no one would save me but ME. This was just how it would be.
But you taught me well, how my thoughts or feelings never did matter, 'cause I was just your daughter...
the Mad Hatter!
