Wishing For a Home

The day I was born I opened my tiny eye's to finally see the light. 
Once they were finally open there was only darkness in my sight.
Too young to realize that this is not how life was supposed to be.
A child destined for sadness can someone please help this little girl see!
Her path was already written it's filled with pain and sorrow.
Begging for today to be over and already dreading tomorrow.
She has spent 25 yrs stuck at this obstacle she cannot seem to breach.
She sees the light so she's running for it but it's always just out of reach.
She stares at everyone around her the only thing they share is blood.
There strangers but look so familiar in her mind overwhelming confusion starts to flood.
She always follows her instincts never ignoring her gut.
What she's searching for is out there she just can't figure out what.
She is lost looking for answers inside her deteriorating soul.
Still searching for non existing pieces that will finally make her whole.
Is this how it descends is this her never ending fate.
Will someone please help this girl it's almost too late!
Try putting a puzzle together with 1 piece to make it complete.
No matter how hard you try that 1 piece alone will always be obsolete.
Never ending strife her life is just like a revolving door.
She will go to her grave looking even though she don't know what it is she is searching for.
She will continue looking for the impossible answer she may never find.
After all how can you find what your after when your eyes are wide open but your still in the dark blind.
She is homesick for a place she is not even sure exist here.
She will keep trying to alter her fate even though it's unfortunately crystal clear.
It's never fame or fortune on a shooting star she wishes for a place to call home.
Until then she'll stay in her deep  sorrow its all the girl has ever known.
She accepts she may never find that place where she belongs.
All she wants is to know what "happy" feels like now tell me why that is so wrong?

Through the Eyes of a Child

Daddy you know I love you you're my favorite person to love.
But daddy I'm so confused when push comes to shove.
 you say you love me so much Daddy then why at me do you always yell?
And when you hit me Daddy do you know it hurts like hell.
Why do you call me fat and stupid Daddy when you helped make me.
When I want a hug and you push me away it hurts my heart don't you see.
When it's time for bed and you're gone I always ask mommy why and she tries not to cry.
Because she can't tell me Daddy would rather be out getting high.
 wouldn't even hurt you if I suddenly were to die.
Does it even phase you daddy when my little brown eyes cry.
You promised you would never leave me Daddy I'm starting to see it's a lie.
You taught me my first word Daddy remember it was goodbye.
Don't you miss my kisses Daddy and the hugs where I would hold on so strong.
When I'm hurting Daddy where are you to ask me what's wrong?
Don't you miss my little voice Daddy telling you I love you so.
Don't you know it fills my heart with hurt when you still walk away after I beg you not to go.
Why do you leave me in a heartbeat Daddy as your son how did I fail?
You have already missed so much of my life Daddy because of Friends , drugs and jail.
Mommy tells me I'm special Daddy and the most amazing thing in her life too. 
I'm starting to think she's lying daddy because if I was so amazing I be good enough for you.
I always beg mommy to call you so I can ask you to please just come home. 
But she won't its like she already knows your answer Daddy we feel so alone.
 why do you yell at me when I wake you up daddy all I want is a hug.
My love should be addicting to you like a drug.
To you would I be a need if I was weed don't my smile keep you high? 
How can you look into my  eyes Daddy and lie?
When I Grow Big Daddy I'm going to hate you for everything you put me and my mommy through.
Just remember we are not the ones who walked away from our family Daddy that was you.
