Your Daughter Needs You
Hidden away and scared
Tampered by the touch
Of fear and rejection
Writing her story
With a sharp pen
Purging the edge of death
With a face full of tears
And a finger shaking scared
Carrying the weight of the world
On her bony shoulders
War torn skin the color
Of blood red
Lost in the millions
Of bodies walking the street
But you still don’t notice
She can’t smile without it being forced
She writes it in her skin
But you choose to ignore it
She marks a line for every
Time she needed you
But you left a long time ago
Daddy your daughter needs you
She is hurting herself
Over a man she doesn’t know
A man she can’t trust
Daddy your daughter is in need
Of a hero
