oh daddy now a man

by Kalikala Smith

you are supposed to be the one
that i can rely on
that i can cry to
that i can talk to.

and yet you are the one
that i have to run away from
that i have to cry about
that i have to talk about.

daddy why have you left me?
joined the path of apathy
where depression breeds depression
breeds heartache and inner turmoil.

random man you are gone from me.
i've joined the path of far away from you
where depression breeds hate
breeds heartache and inner turmoil.

like father, like daughter.

Hard revelation to have. You transcribe it well here.

'where depression breeds depression' and 'where depression breeds hate, two different inner worlds but the charge is the same.Emotionally negative.The end result is the same -'heartache and inner turmoil.'Like father like daughter. Alike.
