Poems for A Daddy

Daddy,

Am I your princess daddy?
I give you a cookie crumb kiss
But you turn away from me
This house is our Castle, Daddy,
And you’re the king

There are monsters under my bed, Daddy
But you won’t scare them away
But you brought them here, Daddy,
They creep into my mind
And there they stay


I met a boy today, Daddy,
i let me hold my hand
He called me Princess, Daddy,
Like I always wanted
I think I’m in love,

He broke my heart, Daddy,
He left me in the rain
Won’t you call me Princess, Daddy?
I thought I was Cinderella
But I’m not


You cannot define me, Daddy
I’ve been waiting 20 years
But I’m not your princess, Daddy,
My castle is burning in my mind
Like paper to a flame

I’m not your Princess, Daddy.
Am I?

Daddy,

Am I your Prwin-Cess, Daddy?

I dance pwetty today

Will you tuck me in, daddy?

And read me Cinderella?

You didn’t see me off to school, Daddy,

Its my first day today,

Will you be proud of me Daddy?

I wore ribbons that matched my eyes 

I learned to spell P-R-I-N-C-E-S-S, Daddy,

When I told you, you didn’t smile today

Will you give me a hug, Daddy?

Or a kiss on my forehead?

There are monsters under my bed, Daddy

You were supposed to scare them away,

Do you love me, Daddy?

Instead you let them come in

I met a boy today daddy,

He called me princess

I held his hand today, Daddy,

And let him steal a kiss

That boy broke my heart, Daddy,

He left me in the rain today

I’m not Cinderella, Daddy,

I thought I was for moment

I’ve been waiting 20 years, Daddy

Silent all this time

I’m not your Princess, Daddy?

Am I?
