Daddy’s little girl

When does daddy’s little girl stop being daddy’s LITTLE girl? 

 

Is it when my body starts to develop and I’m no longer seen as innocent? 

 

Or when my princess dresses fit a little to tight and I’m not allowed to wear long  t-shirts to bed at night, because daddy’s friends are over and we wouldn’t want them thinking them anything right? 

 

 

Or maybe it’s when my body starts to bleed and the whole world starts to shake. So I can’t play with the boys anymore, especially no playDATES.  

 

Because I’m daddy’s little girl and I’m too fragile for that, but I’m also way too big to sit in daddy’s lap, because he loves me....but it feels wrong.  

 

 I wish daddy didn’t feel loving me was wrong. 

 

Because I sure love daddy!

 

Mom says maybe I’ll find a man just like him. That’s all a girl wants in life. A man to take care of them. 

 

That’s why daddy sends brother to school and me to the kitchen to cook. Because men love a woman that can cook! 

 

    Sometimes I wish I could go to school and make friends, but I have to much potential for that. He says that’s where women learn to talk, it’s where they get all their flaws at. 

 

   So I’ll stay with mama at home and learn how to be a wife. How to clean during the day and become really dirty at night. 

 

  Learn how to brush the dirt off my knees and get all pretty for my daddy because that’s what he’s been preparing me for

 

         To always be a daddy’s girl
