Dear Daddy


You’re the best example in her life,

The example she will never follow.

Thank god for grandma saved her from hell

Cause I’m not sure how long you planned on leaving her there.

You threw her away like food,

like your dignity, like trash, and your life.

She left you in the dark while she played in the light

You took a step into the light she seen you shine

as if you are no longer a servant of the devil.

You became a glitter to her brown eyes.

Never go back to your old ways or her eyes will never twinkle for you again.
