I'm frustrated beyond belief with my daughter today
she doesn't understand me, though I've tried every way
I've explained all the rules and the way for respect
but she dwells on some agenda, her only mindset
she will come up and ask me for the hundreth time
if she can do something, see someone, I'm blind
I wish I was deaf, if only she'd see
but that is the problem, understanding me
she does have her issues and she's now a teen
and when she doesn't hate me, she thinks I'm just mean
I've tried to reason, I've tried to bribe
but she can't understand me, instead she'll just sigh
it's a part of her being that I'm trying to change
so that she'll enjoy life, have fun, for a change
if only you knew her, so innocent inside
the perfect hostage to a predators lies
so I try to protect her, in every way
and I can say she's safe, at least, today
so I'm frustrated and it's just how things are
and probably will be, as long as there's stars
as long as there's stars..........in the sky
