Daddy

by Jessica   Apr 23, 2008


Hey daddy its your little girl,
the one who clung to you ,
the one who said " don't make me go to school"
while holding tightly to your shoe

Now daddy if i wouldnt look stupid,
I would grab onto your shoe,
I would tell you not to let me fall
I'd confess everything to you

I'd tell you that im hurting,
and that im feeling close to the end
i'd tell you i dont want to be here,
and i can no longer pretend

i'd tell you the lately,
my smile hasnt been true
that i force it when you crack a joke,
but i really wanna laugh at you ..

i'd tell you that she hurt me
when she just walked away ,
id tell you i wish everything was still the same,
as it was on my 5th birthday

i'd tell you that he destroyed me,
when he did the same,
but id tell you it doesnt surprise me
and that ive got myself to blame

and youd tell me there was nothing,
nothing we could do,
she was going to leave us anyway,
and id sit and listen to you

you'd tell me its not my fault,
and that boys not worth my time,
that without him ill be okay,
and without him im just fine

but daddy, what if im broken?
and what if i cant breathe,
what if i cant do it,
and im not as happy as i seem

what if i told you i wanted to go,
i wanted to leave this place,
not leave to another country,
or even to outter space,

what if i told you i wanted to go,
to go and never come back,
if i told you i couldnt make it,
couldnt get my life on track

would you tell everything would work out fine?
would you say i'd be okay?
what if i didnt believe you daddy,
then what would you say ?

I just wanted to tell you daddy,
that if one day i am gone,
dont think you didnt save me ,
because you've saved me for so long

but you're only one person,
and there's only so much you can do,
dont even think you failed me daddy,
and dont forget that i love you

when i think about my problems daddy
you always come to mind ,
how you weere always there for me,
you were always just one step behind

because of you dad im still here,
although im falling apart,
but you will be there until to end,
you've been there from the start

because of you dad id never leave,
because of you ill always stay,
because ive failed the world daddy,
and unlike them, you never went away

you're the only one who never lefft,
never said goodbye ,.
never said i wasnt good enough,
or that harder i should try

everyones got a hero in tights,
dressed in red, yellow black or blue,
but my heros not made up,
daddy, my hero, is you.

    I liked the flow and subtle rhyme you used in this poem. The final stanza was a good closing verse. Well done.
    Keep writing, Greta.

    I totally understand this, I have the same relationship with my father, as protective as he is. I hope you showed this to him he would be proud
