Father can you hear me calling out your name?

When you get out of prison will you think I am insane?

You've been gone so long and I'm going mad.

I've surpassed the emotion of sad.

I'm deppressed and I've hurt myself while you've been away,

'cause I blaim myself for your mistakes everyday.

I think of how I could have been better,

as I hide my arms inside of my sweater.

Will you see my scars and find me a disgrace?

Honestly I just want out of this place.

This hell.

I am alive but I am not living.

I survive for you,

but only because you want me to.

I undergo this torture,

In hopes that you'll return.

I hope that you will continue to love me as your daughter,

even though I am covered in cuts and burns.
