I was so lost from the ages of 4 to 18 Many nights entombed in my own bedroom Afraid even to look through the crack in the door In case I saw you, saw this devil in disguise The years passed the beatings grew Increasing in strength the older and bigger I got I tried to fight back yet to no avail He enjoyed my struggle, my pathetic attempt to harm him He just laughed and walked away with that smirk on his face I had to pretend to like him in front of my family You know the smiles and hugs I wish I hadn’t to do But to him it was victory to see me like this So he new he was safe from me spilling the beans to mum As he had me exactly where he wanted me I remember my 18th birthday with fondness He tried to beat me yet it was him who took the beating I just ran from my home disgusted at myself I promised myself I would never be like my father Yet I have done what I promised I would never do So I hated myself for years after that Now I am still haunted by my father Yet 6 feet under this earth he lies In hell he now resides With all the arsehole this earth has endured So rest in piece father For I know rest you will never have |
