Somehow I got into finding my poetry that I’ve written. Most of them are really really cheesy and ridiculous from when I was 13 years old haha. But theres a select few I still like. This one was one I thought I’d share. Sorry It’s long.
Daddy’s Little Girl
by Olivia White
She’s 6 years old
And alone
In the dark
She’s calling for help
The monsters are near
And nobody comes
She’s fighting the fear
The only one
Who heard her cry
Was her daddy
Her savior
As he held her high
He was all she ever needed
She’s crying for air
She’s down
on the ground
To realize
She found
That somewhere
He’s there
In His arms
He cared
She was 6 years old
She was daddy’s little girl
She’s 13 years old
And maturing
In her teens
She’s still a little girl
But stubborn and naive
She says I don’t need my daddy now
I’m fine
You can leave
I found somebody, Daddy
He’s really a great guy
He might not meet your standards
But he promised he’d never lie
A couple months later
She cries on her bed
She has scars on her body
On her heart
In her head.
She cries
I’m sorry Daddy
I should have listened to what you said
You were right about the guy
But I ignored you instead.
He was all she ever needed
She’s crying for air
She’s down
on the ground
To realize
She found
That somewhere
He’s there
In His arms
He cared
She was 13 years old
she was still daddy’s little girl
She’s 19 years old
And adjusting
In college
She’s grown up now
But still dependent and learning
She says I don’t need my Daddy now
I’m older and yearning
I’ve found a different path
Not the one you chose
You say what’s best
But what do you know
There’s a party tonight
I’m going to be late
I’m a little buzzed already
Its going to be great
Later that night
She cries in the E.R.
She had way to much to drink
She couldn’t stop
Didn’t think
She said
I’m sorry Daddy
Temptation is hard
Please forgive me
Please regard
My stupid mistake
And the habits to break
He was all she ever needed
She’s crying for air
She’s down
on the ground
To realize
She found
That somewhere
He’s there
In his arms
He cared
She was 19 years old
she was still Daddy’s little girl
6 years later
not alone
But lonely
She’s calling for help
And doesn’t know why
Misplaced
Disgraced
Confused
And misused
She said
There’s something missing
My Daddy isn’t here
I’m in the wrong places
And seeing the wrong faces
This feeling I’m feeling
Is not going away
I walked away
from my Daddy
My savior
Who’s always been there.
But He’s always been there
He’s always cared
She needs to let go
of her past
It shouldn’t last
She needs to accept
He’s forgiven her of her mistakes
and taken away her aches
He’s never left her
No matter what she did
Her Daddy up there
Has always been near
And taken away her fear
Her Father in Heaven
The Lord of all Lords
Does she not realize…
That he was all she ever needed
When she was crying for air
When she’s down
on the ground
and realized
She found
That somewhere
He’s there
In His arms
He cared
That she was and will always be
Daddy’s
Little
Girl
