A daddy’s girl

Daddy’s little girl

Young and so heartless 

She didn’t know the world would be so small

She ran like the wind 

With dirt roads and horses 

She could touch the sun with her palm

Other kids beside her, holding each other’s hand

We all had one thing in common , our mom

And even though my skin tone didnt match my sisters 

Our bond will ever be so strong 

Tell daddy I’m not little 

Strong and independent 

She knew the walls around her will not confine

She flew like a bird 

With poise and such vengeance  

And broke the cycle that will never be defined.
