DADDY
ALMOST SEVENTEEN
YOU JUST CAN'T BELEIVE IT
YOU'RE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF
YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING RIGHT
YOUR BABY GIRL IS GROWING UP
NORMAL
JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
WELL,LET ME ASK YOU,
DADDY,
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN PROUD
....OF ME?
YES,ME,THE PERSON
NOT THE REFLECTION OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
PROUD OF ME
FOR MAKING IT THROUGH....
OH,THAT'S RIGHT....
MAKING IT THROUGH WHAT?
I'M SURE YOU'LL REMEMBER VAGUELY
THAT TIME...
YOU KNOW
THE ONE WHEN I STOPPED EATING,
WHEN I STARTED PLAYING WITH ALL THOSE
SHARP BLADED OBJECTS,
WHEN I HEARD VOICES,
THOUGHT I WAS GOING INSANE...
RING A BELL?
OH YES,BUT THAT WAS JUST A PHASE.
YOU CAN'T SEE MY RIBS NOW
SO I'M ALL BETTER.
NO MORE DANGER.
ALL JUST A PHASE
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT,
NOTHING HARD TO "GET OVER"
I'M JUST A "NORMAL" TEENAGE GIRL
YOUR daughter
NOTHING TO TREAT LIKE A HUMAN SOUL.
I LOVE YOU TOO,
DADDY
