Cotton Candy Dreams

My dreams are keeping me alive
I push on to persue them
But then my father comes along
I wish I never knew him

He yells at me for things I've done
And things he wishes I'd do
He slaps me hard across my face
And tells me "I hate you!"

For I am just a little girl
Who has her many dreams
And he is going nowhere fast
He's jealous, so it seems

He doesn't approve of what I want
Fixing it by hitting me
And so I sit alone and cry
And watch as my thoughts flee

He tells me that I'm worthless
And that I'm just a child
And as I cry my dreams get wet
As they turn from strong to mild

But my dreams are wetter still
For I can't stop my crying
They melt away like cotton candy
Without even trying

Soon I'm left with nothing there
Except for missery and strife
I have nothing to live for now
And so I take my life
