Daddy Why Did You Leave Me

You only know my name you don’t know my story But you’re so quick to judge as if for the way I love my life you get the glory Judging me for the choices that I make As if you for one have never made a mistake Trying to make me feel like what I do doesn’t matter And all of my dreams will eventually get shattered You act as if you really care when in all actuality You were never really there You never were around when I needed you most To be able to comfort me or wipe away my tears You were my daddy you should have been there to take away my fears So I had to grow up by myself and learn to do things on my own I felt I would never have a chance in this world I felt so all alone You see you were my hero once upon a time I thought the world of you and I loved that daddy of mines Until this day things remain the same and I think you’ll never ever change But yet in still I have a glimmer of hope that someday you will see all of the pain that you have ever caused me For leaving me to fin for myself and go through the things that I did Some things I went through should never happen to a kid So you see daddy all I ever wanted was for you to be there to reach out To me your daughter and show me that you care But instead you choose to distance yourself you have become a perfect Stranger and for things you’ve done to me I have so much hidden anger I hope one day you will see that the life I’m living I planned for me You see daddy I’ve been through a great deal From being homeless to not knowing where I was Going to get my next meal From being beaten and touched by strangers I’ve been through so very much And all I ever wanted was for you to be there to hold me in your arms and tell me Princess daddy cares But instead of the dream I had envisioned that someday you would eventually Come around and be the father to me that I seek and still have not found
