Today ill see my dad for the first and final time
Scared of not knowing what's happened in the last 14 years
Ill be visiting the punishment prison of crime
I hope he doesn't see me cry when my eyeliner smears
Waiting at the front gates where the wired fences stand tall
Breathing deeply, building myself up to the moment
Watching as the door opened from the old stonewall
The guard told me to walk right through, walking in silent
Screaming through the cages was all I remembered hearing
Seeing the destroyed man they all were right through there eyes
I waited in the visiting room, down the hall I could hear him humming
Momma made me promise give him her goodbyes
I was trying so hard to stop my hands from shaking
Before he reaches to the door
I could feel the pressure and the toll taking
So much more then before
A man in a orange jumper suit walk in and sat down
A silent moment of staring
5mins without sound
Both of our eyes were glaring
I couldn't hold it back, those tears for what he had said
"Hello sweetie, I'm your dad "
I told him I had a letter to be read
Nothing but the expression of being sad
"To the one most known to be my dad,
All my life I've waited to be old enough to see you
Everyday since I was 8 I've always had this note pad
Wrote down what I thought, and what I've been through
I thought about letting you read it
But its not good to know someone through what they write
I've cried on lonely nights, wrists have been slit
Just hoping that ill be alright
I've always wonder how you would look
The expression on your face when you see me
Momma keeps reminding that you're a crook
Sometimes she gets me so angry
I would wonder every night how different life would be
If you didn't do those awful things
And lived at home with me
I would listen every night, to that tune he sings
Daddy be proud for your daughter has grown up well
Ill make a difference in the world
And have plenty of stories to tell
Ill be there watching as the truth will un-twirl
I Love You Daddy and I've always will
Even if I didn'' t know your face
I'll always still
And you can never be replaced
Goodbye"...
It was horrible seeing him cry
For what I had just told
Got up, Hugged and kiss him goodbye
Felt his face, never felt so cold
Walked out with tears in my eyes
"DANIELLE!" I could hear him screaming
I tripped and fell, bursted out my cries
Inner water was streaming
Gasped for air....I was dreaming...
