Glad You're Gone **Dedicated to my father**

by † Usher Stiegler †   Dec 17, 2005


Dad came in stumbling drunk,
He looked at us like we were a piece of junk.

We knew we were in for hell,
Because before he came in the door we heard him yell.

He walked over to me and Thomas,
He looked at us like we had broke a promise.

Dad yelled "Come here!" as we tried to escape,
We ran like hell, As we were in good shape.

But dad caught up to us in the hall,
He hit us over and over again, until all we could do was crawl.

Dad repetitively hit me with the phone,
Thomas screamed at him "Leave Usher alone!"

Dad turned around with pure hate in his eyes,
He walked over to Thomas, all I could hear was toms cries.

I was still a bit dazed for being hit,
But I started getting my vision back bit by bit.

When I opened my eyes I saw tom being violently kicked,
I yelled at my father "Stop kicking him you drug addict!"

He turned around and looked at me,
I felt like it had turned into world war three.

Thomas and I tried to fight back,
But all we could see was pure black.

Thomas and I lay in pain on the floor,
As he left out the door.

**that happened to me when I was seven although i had to add in the drug addict part so it would rhyme.. But he was a drug addict, its just thats not what i said to him lol.. Me and my brother often got bashed by my father..
