Analysis of Daddy



I'm alone, & all on my own
a scared child with no real home.
will I survive and make it in life
will I be a good mother or a wife.
am I alive or am I dead
have you listened to one word I've said.
Yes I exist, but I just linger each day
I just wanted you to hear what i had to say.
You beat me, insulted me, wasn't that enough
you did everything in the world to make my life rough.
Now you want me to pretend and act like it was all a lie
you're ashamed or should be is that really why?
Go ahead and hate me, remember I'm dead to you
just always remember I'll never forget what you put me thru.
