DADDY HELP ME


Daddy, help me understand why you left me crying wishing praying everynight for you to come home every christmas present every birthday wish was for you to come home you visit once maybe twice a year but you were never there Daddy Help me ! you've missed my childhood you've missed me you've missed me transend from girl to young woman Daddy why me why must i feel like my world is falling beneath my feet? why must i love and hate you at the same time? all the pain and lies are still there you make false promises and tell me you'll try Daddy! I trust you I trusted you you lied but i trusted you Daddy I love you Daddy I miss you Daddy Help Me ! Baby Girl I'm here I've always been here I'm sorry I made you cry The promises weren't false They were just undone I know you're upset But you're still my little girl My first born you were younng and naive you would've never understood the things that had to happen So just stay my little girl Daddy I am no longer the cherry blossom waiting to bloom I have blossomed and had my season And have began to start a new season called womanhood when you look at me no longer see the wild haired cut up knee mudd on her hands 7 year old girl Child is not wat i am It is what I used to be Infant I can never go back to and Toddler i can no longer be Almost passing up teen I am your young woman So daddy help me I don't know what's right for me But you won't let me try Telling me I can't live my life until I'm 30 by 30, I'll be married with kids So who are you to tell me I can't live my life I am your dad lie false promise missing my first born grow missing the years she has needed me there I am sorry sorry there is nothing I can do but watch Watch as I see my little mudd on her hands cut up knee wild haired girl become a woman I can only watch her grow into her womanly figure Watch as she goes from boyfriend to boyfriend not know the pathe she must go I can only watch as she gets feed up with life and let this ignorant do nothing less of a man take her innocence and make a "babymama" Daddy I have more sense of pride than you know I want to be married I want my child to have a proper home Stability Pride Joy No confusion No hurt No little white lies No false promises Just love Innocence and pure I am your father I have loved you since you were innocent and pure Love is what started and love is the end But I have lost my way Confused Navie Young A child raising a child was too much Afraid Responbility knocking Hearts racing And you My first born baby girl My duka My joy I love you even though at times it may not show And I am sorry I've missed you grow into you Daddy I know you love me I'm just hurt at how you just left With no goodbye or I'll see you soon You're losing your daughter Can't things be the way they were When mommie loved daddy And daddy loved mommie And they both loved their children Can't you except that I am a young woman No longer your mudd on her hands cut up knee wild haired Seven year old girl
