A Father's Daughter

 




So,
you say you have a sister,
and now you have to take care of another?
That you want to live up to your father's name,
and you can't read about my pain,
and nothing's the same?

Did you forget that your father
saw his own daughter in me...
when we didn't even know
if we were supposed to be?

And I couldn't even look in my father's eyes...
because I trusted a coward's lies...
while you went about building
his incomplete legacy...

My father's head hung low
because of your discrepancy.
He saw his daughter cry for years...
and aren't you the one
who said you hated my tears?

So go on,
take your glass of whiskey and say cheers...
because you only made me
stronger than my fears.

You might have broken me
and left me for dead—
but always remember:
I am a father's daughter.

What you broke,
he built every day.
Blamed himself
for my crooked ways.
He tried to shield me
when no one was around...
and you thought
you could laugh at me
while I was on the ground?

You can run
to any corner of the world...
but my ghost will haunt you—
because I also rule the underworld.

Who do I think I am?
A Father’s Daughter.

Amazon Worker

Hey there Amazon Worker, Do you think you pulled one over? Mocked my vulnerable side, only to protect your fake pride. I can’t fathom why I ever asked you to pamper and protect. Your wealth was never my concern, yet you watched my trust burn. As I began to share how I felt, you made a snide remark, hitting below the belt. Do you think I care if people change the way they stare? I’m no longer trying to hide; the girl you knew has long died. It’s amusing now that you said I remind you of your mother— What kind of devil hurts the daughter of another? Everyone says to forgive and forget since you were only a child. I would if you didn’t parade your weak masculinity, born of Rothschild. Your false grandeur can’t erase the damage done, I’ve found my strength and my journey’s just begun. If you thought you were good for my image, Know this: my growth surpasses your limits. I’m a woman whose name you can’t tear from the page, And I will stand tall, owning my own stage. ~ Kanika Kau...

Not So Bhavya

Oh, drop the good guy act, You pretended to care, that's a fact. Someone who was hiding their own shame, Called me psycho and crazy, how lame. You tried to charm me with your coffer, Brushed off my pain, saying, “Stop it, or else I won’t buy a lightsaber.” You took all you could and then asked what I have to offer? Funny how you wanted to burn it all down when you lost your maker, But when I cried and screamed, called me a big faker. You claimed to know love, but never took the time, To understand my heart, my rhythm, my rhyme. You wrapped me in darkness while claiming the light, But all you offered was a hollow delight. Now your shadows fade, and I choose to ignite, I’ll weave my own stories, reclaiming my flight.
