Mein Tatte in Himmel- From the Daughter

Mein Tatte in Himmel, bend Your Ear
To hear my silent screams.
So loud to pierce the layers of sorrow
Holding me down.
Mein Tatte in Himmel
I only wanted to be a Yiddishe tochter,
And grow up into a Yiddishe frauen.
Become a Yiddishe mamme,
And have lots of Yiddishe kinderlach.
I thought I had it all, complete
Til one lie tore my little world apart.
I could no longer speak
So others could hear me.
"We're so sorry, we feel your pain
Baruch Hashem it happened now, you still have chein!"
Mein Tatte in Himmel, do You hear
Mindless empty words and phrases
Designed for warmth, burning me as ice?
Slowly I go numb, feeling each moment
The lack of feeling.
Mein Tatte in Himmel, I cannot do this alone
Take pity on Your Daughter
Hear my silent screams.
See my brave face to the world.
Observe all who await the shattering of my soul.
Delighting, anticipating
Grinding the shards beneath their feet.
I beg You, make my strength real
For it is only because of You,
That I still hang by a thread.
