A Plea for Trust

Dad, I plead with you to hear me out,

My privacy's what I'm talking about.

Trust is what I ask of you today,

So please listen to what I have to say.

I feel like an unwanted guest,

Even though I try my best.

You trust others with ease,

But my words you never believe.

Snooping on me, it feels unfair,

As if I'm a criminal beyond repair.

I'm your daughter, you need to believe,

That I won't deceive or even thieve.

I'm willing to do anything you request,

But please don't put me to the test,

By treating me like some unwanted guest,

It's mentally torturing, to be honest.

I'm starting to feel like I've failed you,

That's why you're spying, but it's not true.

Please show me that you care and trust,

So I won't feel like my life is bust.

I don't want to live like this anymore,

It's a constant battle, it's such a bore.

I wish there was something I could do,

To make you see, I'll always be true.

I wish I could be like them,

So you could trust me like a true gem.

But all I can do is hope and pray,

That one day you'll believe what I say.

I hope you find a daughter someday,

One who you can trust in every single way.

So you won't have to snoop and spy,

And she won't have to ask just why.
