Cry Away or Carry Away
Never did you hold my hand,
Never did you teach me to walk
Never did you play with me.
But you are still my Father.

I am not your blood,
Not even your beloved.
But you took me as your daughter,
Never regretted it later.

When the world treated me like I was nothing,
you made me believe I was worth loving.
I was never the daughter you deserve,
but you will always be the Father that is worth millions.

I never get to say Goodbye,
Or even worse I didn't even know you were gone.
I was told I was supposed to accept.
Time will heal and make us forget.

Heaven knows, I wish it was me instead.
I would gladly sleep in a grave to bring you back from the dead.
But here I am, hating the feeling of helplessness.
Sitting in the emptiness of nothingness.

Should I cry away?
And meet my destiny.
Or should I carry it away?
And live in your legacy.
