Daddy Issues

Father, where did you go?
Mother, she is crying all alone.
I know I'm not the perfect child
And I know that I'm strange
But I still try to make you proud.

I see the truth when I see love in your eyes
But I still feel like I'm not enough.

Father, you show me how to be strong
But I would settle for feeling understood
I'm your daughter but I feel more like your son.
Striving to prove myself,
I want to make you proud.

Do you see that I'm just so scared,
To live in this flesh, so raw, so rare?

I see the truth when I see love in your eyes,
But I still feel like I'm not enough.
