Father says to girl, it's time to go now
Grabs his bag and begins to walk out.
Daughter in shock, what can she say?
He's gone, walked out, he's away.
She's left wondering what the hell she did wrong
Family is important, family is strong, she thought
but she's left choking back the tears.
How could he leave after so many years?
This girl grew up, is she strong?
Basing her life by the clothes she has on.
Looking in the mirror feeling imperfect,
Everyday questioning her purpose.
What do they say about the bastard child who feels like she is alone,
Cold heart, guard up, lets no man come into her home?
She's hurting, can't seem to find her worth
She goes from one guy to the next thinking it wont hurt.
These boys she's with just seem to pass her time
Will she ever cross this line of grudges, let go, open up and move on
Her father might be gone but she can be strong
If she only focused on joy and found purpose
Find love for herself and say she's important
and beautiful. Daughters need to know it.

My Main Loves
The comfort I get when we are near,
the unspoken words in the air
When next to you, there is nothing I fear,
The Pain, Sorrow, Hurt, and Sadness. I can Bear.
Your touch cannot be described in words
I yearn for your presence, every day, I will though
The world, the universe, the trees even the birds
Are envious of my relationship with my blanket and pillow.
