Your words burn through my <br />skin <br />I feel as though I can never win <br /> <br />I try my best to make you happy <br />And you repay me by makin me feel <br />crappy <br /> <br />Callin me fat, ugly, and worthless <br />to the world <br />Its hard for me to believe I used to be <br />daddys little girl <br /> <br />Makin me cry, tears stingin my eyes <br />All I ever hear from you are never ending <br />lies <br /> <br />Leaving every night and barely coming home <br />You might as well never come back if you like <br />to be alone <br /> <br />Pressuring me to be perfection <br />Making fun of my not so model-like <br />complection <br /> <br />But I have news for you I'm not <br />a freakin model <br />And I'm never gonna look like <br />Giselle <br /> <br />And I'm never gonna have perfect <br />skin <br />Just in case you think I'll one day meet <br />your expectations <br /> <br />I'm hispanic and im curvy and I'm <br />always gonna have a couple zits <br />But thanks to you and your wonderful <br />ways of caring I now think of myself as <br />shit <br /> <br />As I try to love myself <br />I cant help but see <br />Those tiny imperfections <br />that you've pointed out <br />to me <br /> <br />But one day I'll prove you <br />wrong <br />And I'll walk model-like <br />and I'll feel so strong <br /> <br />But that day has yet to come <br />And until it does I cant look <br />in the mirror without wanting <br />to think you've won<br /><br />Alicia Gomez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/daddys-little-girl/
