It's been so rough
And I hope you can't see
All the struggles that I have faced
Please don't be disappointed in me

I miss you so much
I'm always shedding tears
Right before I sleep
I really hope you can't hear

I really am trying
I'm trying my hardest, Dad
Recovery is so far
I just wish I wasn't sad

I know you don't want to see your little girl
Battling her own mind
But there's something I need to tell you
It's that I'll be fine

I will keep doing my best
And I will fight this depression
With the help of mom and brothers
And every therapy session

But it gets really hard
Almost 13 years have gone by
I'm almost 18 now
Doesn't time fly?

I don't want to say goodbye
But I know I have to
So here it is now
Daddy, I'll never forget you
