Dear Father
Dear Father
I know to you I am your only Daughter
But I am my own person now Father
I know it’s hard to set me free
But I am not in any ease
I know my choices are not what you expect me to become
But I have come so far that I have learned to be numb
I pray to God that everyday you’d see me the way God intended me to be
That you’d see how God has created me
But it seems you have failed to understand how magnificent God is to me
God has created everyone differently now Father
When will you see that God in all of us is different including me?
I don’t want to break
I don’t want to lose
But you kept me in constant battle
With me, with you, with the world and with God
The world is not about your ego, father
There is more beyond what you preach
So listen, understand and embrace
Because I am your daughter
