Failure

It's dark here, and cold.
Not where I wanted to be.
You had such hopes for me,
I know.
And I failed.
I'm sorry.
I tried my best to be what you wanted,
what you expected-
but I couldn't.
I know you're disappointed.
I know you're angry.
But I don't feel safe here, Daddy.
I want to come home.
I'm hungry, I'm dirty.
It's not nice here on the streets.
Yes, I know.
Yes Daddy.
But I want to come home.
I need you! I need all of you.
It's cold here.
.............
Alright.
I understand.
I failed you.
I'm sorry.
