What do you do when

What do you do when theres no where to go but a place called "Home"

and the home is broken, 

shattered into pieces that are irreparable 

where your father, who is a stranger

a stranger that has lived in his house and done his job as the man of the house

but has no words to say to his eldest daughter

He'll lose his temper because the things she says are true

how he's never home

he does not want to face it

and he tears her down with a slap 

slap by slap he breaks her

she's the kind of girl with "daddy problems"

the kind of problems that make her depend on a man who loves her but can only do so much to repair her

risking their life with the protection of a thing piece of latex, if broken could reverse their lives

"but at least itd be reversed together"

fighting for indepence, she breaks 

into shattered pieces that are irreparable

she cant wait to run and never come back

never look back

to the mother who guarded her from life

life itself

life that is supposed to be full of experiences

experiences that are brought upon curiosity

she's lost her sense of limits

and she's gone
