I never could express my feelings,
I never could hurt a friend,
I never could win a race,
I never could be the quiet one,
I never could be the liked one,
But now ill never do these things,
Because, i never could stand up to my Dad.
I never will write a book
I never will drive a car
I never will have a boyfriend
I never will have children
I never will die with my friends
Because i couldn't stand up to my Dad
I never had a chance to make bad decisions
I never had a chance to make the right ones
I never had the chance to meet my new brother
I never had a chance to get really drunk
I never had a chance at life
All because i couldn't stand up to my dad
I look down on the earth from atop my cloud
And yet again i wish i could have stood up to my Dad
