​i’m certain she’s there

I am the daughter of a girl
Who could go missing
For seven years
Thirty-one years
And the world wouldn't skip a beat
A heavy thing
Too broken to be a daughter
Too wild to be a lover
A ghost
An imaginary thing
Nobody cares to witness
And when you look at my face
When anybody looks at my face
They say "You look just like your father"
But I am certain she's in there somewhere
It's just nobody ever looks
