Hello father it's me the daughter you couldn't love the one you never see
Hi dad, it's me The one that looks just like you The chocolate skin, the smile, lips and nose The daughter you don't know Hi "father", "dad" it sounds foreign coming from my lips because since the day I was pushed from my mother's hips you have been a shadow, only appearing for brief moments and not when needed you know that I am special but do you know why?
did you know that as a little girl for you I used to cry? When the boys felt me up in the halls of my middle school-- I wanted your advice do I push them away or let their hands stay When my heart was broken I wanted you there to tell me I was beautiful that it would all get better I wanted confirmation of my value When I started college I wanted you there to help me move into my dorm room and give me all these rules that I'd agree to only until you left
I see the pain in your eyes and between the lines of the words you say I see the see the pain of what your daddy didn't for you the pain of how you've failed your children too
This is in't meant as a disrespect to you but an admission of the truth but daddy, I forgive you For all you didn't do
But I am also disappointed because the failure were acknowledged and you said you wanted change but your actions are still the same and my efforts seem in vain
So I am throwing my hands up Not sure it's a cause we are both fighting for
Goodbye dad I hope one day you'll be everything I always needed and more
