Gingerbread house

By smearedXmakeup

She went from daddy's little girl, to fathers little defect.
Once mommy's perfect world, now mothers constant regret.
they tell her they're ashamed, and that they just don't need her.
never touched her with their hands, their words are what have beat her.
she wants so bad to just give up, but this small girls a fighter.
they can scream their hateful words, but she's a better writer.
a pen and paper's all she needs for times she feels like dying.
she writes about her perfect parents, ones to hold her when she's crying.
holds out hope for the ones she has, one day she'll be good enough.
painting on smiles, forcing out laughs... this broken girl is tough.
she's not as strong as everyone thinks, "please God, tell me that you care."
To see an innocent face so lonely... Simply isn't fair.





She wanted to be daddys little girl, but daddy's got a defect.
She'll never be in mommys world, because she'll never be perfect.
