Daddy's Little Girl

Contributed by Seans_Girl on Sunday, 6th June 2004 @ 02:46:21 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



Blackness before me; till given light
Screams awakening everyone in sight
Strong beams striking my newborn eyes
Looking for something I can recognize

The words he spoke were loud and clear
The longer he held me, the more I felt fear
He handed me over to a beautiful woman with a smiling face
Warmth from her eyes, slowed my heart's fast pace

The man beside her, with eyes I knew
Took me in his arms with love so true
Now held in a firmer grip, I gazed into his eyes
The deep blue before me I memorized

After months, weeks, years and days
I began to crawl and walk a little ways
Mommy and Daddy were there by my side
When I got hurt and broke down and cried

By the time I was four I could tie my own shoe
I loved to show off and show what I could do
Just like the knots that were in my hair
I knew my parents would always be there

They were there when I would skin my knee
Or when I couldn't get down from a high tree
When my sisters and I would start to fight
They would try to make everything all right

Telling me they loved me and kissing me goodnight
Driving out all my fears and my deepest fright
Killing the monsters with an evil glare
So I could sleep and know they aren't there

They have always tried to keep me out of danger
Even though they can express a lot of anger
With them I feel I have nothing to fear
For they will always be near

As years went by, depression overwhelmed me
I tried to look for the light that would set me free
Feeling as if there were no where to turn
Tears rolling down from my eyes that burned

I thought no one could help or yet understand
I believed I was alone in this sad run-down land
A lot was tried, but non did succeed
I was locked in hell, seeking to be freed

You were my angels, whom showed me the light
Just when I thought it was over, you gave me the strength to fight
You pleaded for me not to corrupt myself with the demons inside
To destroy the depression and let the happiness reside

Behind closed doors, I let my feelings out
I wanted to tear out my hair, and scream and shout
I wanted everyone to suffer for what was happening to me
If I couldn't be happy, I didn't want anyone to be

Did God put me here so my tears would fill lakes?
Was I just one of God's simple mistakes?
Many questions unanswered, never to hear a reply
Why was I here? When would I die?

Trying differnt medicines and counselors to see what I needed
After tons of money and effort; I finally succeeded
With the help of you guys I never would have made it through
I thank God for giving me the greatest parents anyone every knew.

This poem is so sweet. It had an interesting twist, throughout the first part I thought you'd always lived the fairy tale life and you were just thanking your parents. This was very deep. Good piece
