Father-Daughter Dance

my screaming teenage
daughter tests my willingness
to keep on giving

no use telling me
that I should draw the line and
hold my ground with her

I’m no push-over
and still have my dignity
when it comes to that

betrayal and fear
conformity rejection
are her daily bread

I need to show her
how to refuse abuse by
standing up to hers

I need to show her
my unconditional love
so she can find hers
