For so many years

For so many years I told myself that I didn’t need you
To be there to guide me through my life and everything I will go through
Being daddy’s little girl had become a memory of the past
I’ve heard so many people say that good things never seem to last
I’ve been told so many times that I have a lot of hurt and anger inside
And that I simply can’t admit it because I have too much pride
I must admit when I was younger I just couldn’t understand
Why you weren’t there for me to lend a helping hand
But as I grew older things suddenly became quite clear
That sometimes people make mistakes and that you are sorry you weren’t here
And it seems the years went by faster than a blink
And so when I heard that you were coming into town I honestly didn’t know what to think
You have been gone so long that I wasn't sure how I was going to feel
But after I spent time with you, I felt so much happiness, it almost felt unreal
It had been so long since I had felt what it would be like to have you here
And it felt so good to know that if I needed you, you would be near
I can’t explain the peace that I finally felt inside
And when I came home that night, I laid down on my bed and cried like I have never cried
I guess I finally realized how much it really hurt me that you weren’t there
And that I was only fooling myself, when I said that I didn’t care
For years I have experienced sadness, loneliness, emptiness, and depression
I have felt scared, lost, confused, and had so much aggression
So unfortunately I turned to drugs to help me numb the pain
To help me forget about all the emotion and problems I could never seem to explain
It may not have been the answer but it got me through the day
And before I knew it, I couldn’t keep it away
Ashamed and embarrassed that it has gotten so out of hand
But I know that out of everyone, you would understand
Just how powerful an addiction can be
I feel like each day I am struggling to break free
Not a day goes by that the thought of using is not in my head
Making me think without it, I can’t get out of bed
It seems like everyday this addiction beats me to the ground
So I was amazed at how it didn't even pop into my mind when you were
around
And it felt great to finally break free
Of the voices of addiction calling for me
I so badly wanted to talk to you about this but didn’t know how
So I wrote this poem to tell you that I really wish you were here with me now
I Love You Dad

I pretended to be your Dad, baby, as I read this. It brought tears of joy, sadness, regret ... and pride for my little girl. Powerful. As he could've, should've and might've said, "I'm here for you.", I say it as a friend, "I'm here for you."
