A Letter to my Dad

9/26/24

I need your help Dad,

I don’t know what to do.

 

I feel like the life has been sucked out of me,

There is nowhere for me to go,

People say, “Why don’t you come talk to me, you can talk to me any time.”

But I have tried,

They won’t hear me.

 

Where can I go but to you for help,

You are my life,

Not school,

Not the gym,

Not my book,

No one can be my life but you Dad.

 

Even when I feel like I am trapped,

Like I am in a glass box only able to see the party around me,

But no one sees me,

I know that you see me.

 

You’ve rescued me from my own pit,

You’ve rescued me from the hell of my own making,

 

I will trust you now and forever,

Even when it seems hopeless.

 

Psalms 86 is what this poem is based on.
