Please Understand

By: Lexi Hunt

Sweetie, it's been too long

We can't do this alone

We need to tell him otherwise

This house wont be a home

But mom he doesn't get it

He’ll blame it on my age

He’ll tell me to forget it

And I'll be sad more days

The time is now my dear

Your dad is on his way

Please dont fear I'll talk to him

It will just take a few days

Hey dad, I have to tell you now

The truth is that I’m ill

My mind is sick and I don't know how

This is not my will

You need to grow up child

Your friends are in the way

I bet the case is mild

All you do is misbehave

But daddy you don't understand

Why I feel this way

No , please dont grab my hand

And tell me it's not okay

You do this for attention

One day it won't be cool

I'm your dad and did I mention

I was once in school?

She's in the hospital now

And in better hands

Doctor, doctor, tell him how

To give our kid a chance

Oh, I get it now

I have to stop the drinking

I promise I'll be better child

The doctor got me thinking

I’ll try to be a better dad

Since she still wants me around

I don't want her to be so sad

My daughter needs me now

I love her way too much

To see her poor face go

I miss her so I must

Make this a better home

I love you dad, I hope you know

I’m healing just for you

Don't be scared I’m coping now

The sadness is almost through

I know sweetie, and I get it now

How life can be so cruel

I promise you forever and out

I love you too.
