Daddy,
I need to talk to you, but I don’t dare.
I need to tell the truth, but I’m scared.
I need to let you know how I felt,
When you weren’t there.
I wrote many poems, all of them are sad.
You hurt me so much, it made me mad.
You made me so angry and I felt so alone.
I needed you with me, but you were gone.
You had left me for a person
Who you thought could make you happy.
Now you are still with her
But what about me?
I still feel this sadness
Every time I think about the past
I don’t want to do that
But I cannot let it rest.
So many times it makes me cry
So many times I have wanted to die
I have wished for another life
One that doesn’t cut like a knife
I didn’t ask for a life like mine,
But I cannot change what’s done
I can’t change my life to something better
A life as soft as feathers
I know what I must do,
But that doesn’t help I think
To go on and leave the past behind
I have to go and see a shrink
What if he can’t help me?
What if he only makes me cry?
Just like I am doing now
Even though you cannot see
