What It Was

By: Susanne Lux

I've got "holes in my head"
Daddy told me so
"holes in my head"
and Daddy ought to know
Never worth "a tinkers damn"
"useless and so ugly"
I looked up to my Daddy's face
and wished that he could love me.
A "bad seed" I had always been
"rotten to the core"
and because he could not love me
it made me love him more.
I did my best to please him
to earn his love you see,
but as the years went by
I grew to know
this wasn't going to be.
He tried to "teach" me "lessons"
which brought oh so much pain...
and I could not get away from him
so I learned to play a game.

This really wasn't happening...
This really could not be....
For daddy's love their children

I saw it on T.V.
