Daddy I Need Your Help

Dear Daddy,

I know it’s been awhile
I’ve tried to start this letter
No less than a thousand times
But the tears always beat the words
And I drown the page before my voice gets heard

Dear Daddy,

I can’t do this alone
I need Your help
This pain I feel won’t let me go
I’m finally done with trying on my own

Dear Daddy,

Can You feel the weight on my shoulders?
Can You tell me how to make it leave?
I don’t want to bear the burden that isn’t mine
I have enough right in front of me
To keep me occupied

Dear Daddy,

I feel like my world is unraveling
Like all of this is just happening
And I can do nothing but watch and wait
For it crash
Because I honestly don’t think it will fly

Dear Daddy,

I know I know better than this
I don’t need to write it all down to get You to listen
I don’t need to hold it all in
That won’t fix it

Dear Daddy,

Do You think we could start brand new?
Can You carry all the things I wouldn’t let You touch at first?
Can You be the remedy when the ache starts to burn?
And can You carry me when I’m too weak to bring myself to my feet?
Daddy please,
I need Your help
