Hey Daddy

Hey daddy, it's me
Must be weird; this letter
From the daughter
Whom you wanted to be better

I'm not writing this
To say I hate you
I just wanted to tell you
That I've made it through

Just wanted to let you know
That I am doing ok
And that being with a new family
Has changed my way

How is everybody
How is my mother?
What about my little sister?
And my two brothers?

It's been awhile now
Since we've spoken
I'm sorry that our family
Is now so broken

But you know what you did
Was wrong in every way
And now I dwell on it
All the time; night and day

The bruises and scars
Are still on my arm and side
And ever since that night
I've sat in my room and cried

It's hard to believe
You were a hero in my eyes
And that I always followed you
Thinking you were most wise

But even after this happened
After this all
I still need to confess something
I'm trying not to stall

Sometimes I forgive
And now I will admit
That i miss you so much
I ignore the crime commit

You are still my dad
No matter what you do
Whether you believe or not
These words are true

Now I will forgive
I will not be mad
Say hi to everyone for me
I love you dad
