You Inspired Me, Daddy

January 27, 2020

My daddy told me I was free,

My daddy told me I was loved,

My daddy told me I was strong,

How can I tell my daddy I have been torn?

Trust was misued,

Who was the power has been said,

How can I tell my daddy I am not my own?

We all suffered, our souls get crushed.

But I never felt such that pain,

Until my soul left my body for that moment,

and my mind got black,

and my heart went down,

and my dignity disappear,

How can I tell my daddy all that I feel?

Strong? Not enough.

Loud? Not enough.

Begged? Not enough.

How can I tell my daddy I'm not enough?

Never before I though

Such monstrosity could be done,

Never before I though

All my worth would be gone,

But I told my daddy all I could feel,

But I told my daddy, and he counted all my tears.

Now I know the only who defines me is myself

, and I have found strength deep within me.

I have praise the Lord.

I have learned from the world.

I have learned from my daddy there is still hope.
