My father loved me,

That was why he tried so hard

To make me be,

His perfect angel girl.

I know the people said

He was disappointed,

I was a girl,

But it's a lie.

He did love me,

Or he wouldn't have got so mad.

When I wasn't perfect,

It was all for me.

I deserved everything,

The words,

The hurt,

Everything.

I still don't see why,

They took him away.

He loved me,

And I loved him.

So I promised myself,

I would try,

To be perfect,

Just for him.

I know what the students say,

She's so strict,

And mean,

And perfect.

They don't understand,

That I have to be,

Have to be,

His perfect angel girl.

But they never ask why.
