Dear Daddy

Hmn. Just a random thing that popped into my mind while I was listening to music. Decided to write the raw draft down, see if it's good as it is.

Dear Daddy,

It's me, it's me! Hee-hee!

If you don't know who I am...

I'm your daughter, Yup, I'm Marcy!

I miss you so, Daddy! I want you back.

Mommy's lonely and Isa's angry.

Isa looks like she's about to crack!

She's scaring me so, Daddy, yes.

When she walks out of her room...

Her wrists are a bloody mess!

Yup yup, it's true! I bet you'd stop her!

 

She gets angry at the littlest things...

She hits things until they ring...

And, she cries so much...

And she screams at the littlest touch.

It's hard not to hug your sister...

It's hard when you know she doesn't trust you.

Gosh Daddy, we need you back, it's true!

 

She cries and cries, night and day.

"Something's wrong" That's what the doctors say!

And the town agrees, but daddy how can we pay?

Pay the doctors for all the information they say?
You went bye-bye, and we have no more money...

I wish you'd come back here....

Instead of being in the place where it's always sunny.

 

Dear Daddy, It's me Marcy.

If you can hear me up there

We need you down here.

We need you to come back...

Why are you gone? It's not fair!

Isa's a mess, she hurts herself bad...

And the house is always empty and sad...

When you come back from Heaven

~Please make it soon~

Maybe everything will be better

Maybe no more shadows will loom...

Please, Daddy, come back soon!

This is based on what my little sister Marcy might say. Isa is me, and the P.O.V is Marcy. To bad to say that this is all true. I'm glad you all see the pain and liked the poem. Thank you, -Isabella M.

Good Job. I liked it a lot. Very descriptive.

Aww. This is so sad. But its a great poem. I loved it very much, and enjoyed every part of it. You can feel the sadness of the little girl, and picture the state of her family. Beautifully written. Good job.

So sad.. written in the light of innocence and heartbreak. A child pleading for that of another.. to have their father back to protect them from all that life has to offer. Such a painful read for those missing fathers.. may he hear your words and step up and understand not obligation but the NEED. My heart broke to read this.. if this is reality.. let someone know of your sister's harming herself.. go to MOM first... then maybe a school counsellor if she doesn't listen and it's really bad. I am not a therapist.. but bleeding can't be good with such anger and ventation.. very sad. Brlliant portrayal if creatively written and a true plight for children missing parents today!
