Dear God, Help
Dear God, tonight Mommy told me
"Wish apon that star."
But the star she pointed at
Looked very very far
Dear god, my Daddy said to me
"Life is never fair."
Is that why he hit me?
And pulled me by my hair?
God, Chris, my boyfriend used to beg and plead
"Baby, it's you I love. Will we be okay?"
Is that why I found him
With another the previous day?
Lord God, my brother, Calvin
Left the world last week
Will I see him in heaven
If love is all I seek?
God, Mommy promised me
That thing's will be alright
But I had to keep hidden
While she screamed through the night
Dear God, my Mommy left me too
All Daddy does is cry
He told me it was my fault
And I deserve to die
Tonight he has an axe, God
He's serious this time
I hope Mommy was right
She said it would be fine
Dear God, I miss my friends
And everything is cold
Daddy will make me stay here
Until I'm grey and old
Dear God, I am afraid
This may be my last note
Daddy has a gun tonight
And it's pointed to my throat
God, the pain is white-hot
There's cuts down my arm
Why aren't you protecting me
And keeping me from harm?
Lord God, I miss my Mommy
I'm drowning in my blood
My Daddy said he hated me
And left me in the mud
Dear God, everything's okay now
Mommy and Calvin are here
They say that this is heaven
And Daddy's no where near
Lord God, I want to thank you
For all that you have done
I now know that life was a contest
And it is I that has won
"Wish apon that star."
