Don't come back now

I don't get why someone who has been in and out of your life would think  they know you? 
You been in and out of my life for 19 years.
Yes you seen me grow up but you wasn't there when I was growing up.
You know your daughter but you don't know her as a person.
You know the one who smiles and laughs and sits back and be quiet. 
But little do you know yo daughter is hurting inside.
She searches for love from her mom that she will never receive.
She searches for the one who will hold her promises and never breaks them. 
Your daughter sits awake at night thinking about a life that she never had.
Yes your daughter is grown and should be over it but she is not. 
Your daughter has been wearing a mask since the age of 2.
Let me tell you. Your daughter is one hella of an actress.
She wears the most beautiful smile and have a very lovable personality. 
But pain is pain and she is going through it all to hide the pain.
Pain that you caused.
So how can you sit here and judge her because she won't do what you ask.
When you been in and out of her life. 
Calling her selfish knowing she is far from it. 
She will give you her last and she will still act like she hasn't lost a thing.
She would bend over backwards for someone she barely even knows.
But yet she is selfish. 
Selfish is not even her forte. 
Nor is it even a true fact. 
But if you ask her for anything she will give it to you one way or another. 
But yet she is selfish.
How would you know that when you have been in and out of her life? 
I just don't get why do people come
Back in your life thinking they know you?
