A Child's Cry
Will somebody hear my cry
Of the pain I want to deny
My behavior and what I want to do
Says how I feel too
Learning to understand
Why I try to reject helping hands
Wanting to disappear
Sometimes, means I'm so full of fear
Wanting so much to die
Tells of a need to cry
Wanting the pain to cease
Control of my eating is what I need to release
My behavior pleads
Somebody see a child's needs
Will somebody hear the cry
Of a child wanting desperately to die
A child long so
For a father that would never go
A father who won't disappear
And cause a child to fear
Keeping all the pain inside
The child tried desperately to hide
The fear that surrounds
Sends the child hiding underground
In a closet or in a corner
The child learned to be a loner
Scared to let anyone in
Never feeling like she fit in
All alone and crying
Bit by bit she was dying
I'm so scared to see
But, I know that the child is me
So scared to move
I keep trying to prove
Pain and anger in my starving
They never heard my crying
That I don't need a father
Apathetic at times - Why bother?
Little girl wanting him to bother
Simply just be my father
Alone and afraid with nowhere to run
Now, I'm learning to have fun
Emptiness that runs so deep
Now, I'm one of the Shepard's sheep
Now safe and secure
With the Father whose love is so pure
Learning to truly receive the love
From the Father of the fatherless
The more I experience my pain
Brings intimacy with the Father again and again
I still want to bruise, burn and cut
Now, instead more often I look up
Up to the Father
Who says, "I am here!"
Without fail His Fathering
Rings music, words and arms so comforting
I once vowed that I would never reaveal this card
That life without Daddy is hard
A child's life filled with chaos
All the time feeling so lost
Rituals of sef-mutilation tried to bring structure
To a world seemingly without future
But, now hope comes through the Father
He says, "You matter."
A little girl's heart being fulfilled
As He says, "You're beautiful."
He says, "You have precious gentle heart"
I know the love of this Father will never part.
