My Daddy's Daughter

lanaevans

Why do I live if I can't ever possibly love myself?
They say I'm ugly, I'm my daddy's daughter.
I have his same rough skin.
They don't envy my thin, I'm too skinny.
There is not one ounce of confidence in me.
The world views me as a poor thing, not worthy of giving their time to.
So I'm starving off the isolation, wishing love would find me.
But love looks at me and it would rather go blind.
I'm so ugly.
Why did my mama marry my father?
My father is an angry man, always complaining and calling me retarded.
I'm an angry girl, only wishing for his admiration.
To tell me I'm his angel and console me when the world shows me hatred.
But I'm so ugly and my daddy knows he is too.

    Beauty comes from within, and you obviously have the soul of a poet, which is a beautiful thing.

  • Frank Prem

    Woof. Strong expression, Lana. Good work.

    This poem breaks
    My heart lanaevans
    First can I say it's
    Really very good
    I have two daughters
    Who I love more than
    Life itself I also have
    A granddaughter and
    Love her the same way
    I am an ugly man but
    They are beautiful.
    Great poem...

    There's an old saying "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Don't base your confidence on those who do not know beauty. Look within and see all the beauty you are. ; )
